As lp3.ps displays correctly with Ghostscript ("gs l3.ps") it is possible that we are hitting a bug of the PostScript interpreters in many HP printers here (or even more than one bug, as the HP LaserJet P3005 crashes). So it is not necessarily to be fixed in Poppler but by perhaps by HP in their PPDs.
The simplest fix HP could do is following Ron Morse's suggestion to switch their PPDs to PostScript Level 2 by changing the "*LanguageLevel:" lines. Perhaps their are more sophisticated solutions, like adding a "*JobPatchFile"s, but this only the developers at HP can now.
Reopening HPLIP upstream task.
