Patch provided here:

works. Please somebody report to upstream (I don't have a bugzilla account there). I succeded in backporting fix to poppler in hardy, but I had a problem: there is an additional argument in more recent versions of poppler:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/glib/poppler-page.cc

static void
_poppler_page_render (PopplerPage *page,
cairo_t *cairo,
GBool printing)

In ubuntu's version, "printing" is lacking. I used "true" instead of "printing" in my version of the patch and it works but developers should really take a look to what's going on.

I attach two updated binary packages, diff will follow.
