It turns out to be a bug in Ghostscript:
https://github.com/vectorgraphics/asymptote/issues/73
https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699722
Fix:
http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=c8c01f8c4164
http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=13418541a5ae

That's why it is not failing on FreeBSD because the GS port has not been 
yet updated, it is still at 9.24. On Windows I have swapped the exes and 
gs_init.ps, but that is really an ugly hack.

Can we initiate a downgrade of bundled GS for Windows meanwhile?
