certainly seems to be something related to seeking; is evince is started on the first page and the file displayed linearly, things appear to be (mostly?) fine. If evince /remembers/ that last time you closed that file it was on page 176, then evince starts on page 176 and complains immediately.

It could be that the two commands in questions are not correctly marked as macros sets by PostScript DSC marks, so are only ever loaded when the fine is read linearly and not when the file is randomly accessed using the DSC (Document Structuring Conventions) markup.
