All is fine here: Archlinux, ghostscript compiled from git.

It took time to install Archlinux in VirtualBox and test your settings.
Now I see the same picture that you point out last time. However, if you
click right button of mouse on sign "STOP" and choose "View error"
you'll see that there is NOTHING wrong with your AUCTeX installation
but the problem with ghostscript.

There were nasty bugs in some 9.0x versions of ghostscript of 9.0x.
