Fill pattern in PDF not displayed in Evince

[uellue]

The fill pattern is created with Inkscape and then exported as PDF (source file, and PDF, EPS and PNG export appended).

Observed behavior:

Acrobat Reader and Okular render the fill pattern correctly from the PDF. In Evince and in the Nautilus preview, the fill pattern does not appear in the PDF. The fill pattern is rendered correctly from an EPS (Screenshots attached).

Expected behavior:

The file and preview look the same in all viewers. In particular, the pattern is displayed correctly in Evince and Nautilus.

This is still occurring on Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" with evince 3.6.0-0ubuntu2 and poppler 0.20.4-0ubuntu1.1.

Happens with fill patterns created in other tools (GMT for example), not limited to Inkscape.

Still occurring in both Nautilus and Evince on Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" with evince 3.6.1-1ubuntu3, poppler 0.20.5-1ubuntu3 and cairo 1.12.14-0ubuntu1.
