Can you attach a (hopefully smaller) sample file (just "print to file") that demonstrates this, along with the PPD file for the queue in question?

It was a bit tricky to get the diagnostic data chunks as requested. Adobe's InDesign works different when writing a PostScript file (it generates the PS file without calling the printer driver; I even doubt if it uses the PPD at all in this case).
The uploaded files are:
What is worth noting, I think, is that many of the included EPS files are generated on MacOS[7-9] systems and therefore only have 0x0d as end of line code.

Is the truncated.ps file the spool file that CUPS gets, or the resulting file after you run it through your alternate pstops?
In looking at the code, all I can guess is that InDesign is calling the driver's Command method with a section we don't support, and then aborting as soon as they get the "not implemented" error. Maybe we are supposed to be calling the parent class method in this case, I dunno.
Will do some more research on my end - let me know about the truncated.ps file...

Yes, the truncated.ps is the file that is submitted by the windows printer driver (captured by stopping the printer and copying the dnnnnn-mmm file).
When looking closer to the file written directly by ID, I found the following issues which may be of interest:
The weird thing is that if one tries to print page ranges (2 to 6 pages), it repeatedly succeeds when printing the same range but does not if the page range is increased or even shifted up or down.

When printing documents containing high resolution images from Adobe InDesign CS3, the print job transferred to the printer is aborted just after the EndSetup comment line (one additional line doing a save is still present).
When, instead of printing, writing a PostScript file, the job contains pages the size of which is somewhere between 100 and 250 megabytes.
Note than InDesign prints nearly all stuff using the "pass through" mechanism.
When using the driver without the CUPSxx6 stuff, printing is OK.
