If this directory is not used (or is a symlink, just to add this), that means you've changed the default path in cups-pdf.conf, you'll need to apply this changes in the /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd file, too.

You found the real bug. Well done!

Till: would it make more sense to put that AppArmor segment into the
cups-pdf package, so that we could modify it as the package evolve and
also document it as a part of cups-pdf, in case people decide to
select a non-default output path?
