I came across this problem a few days ago. I have an application that generates PDF's and was able to do quite a bit of testing.
First off this is not an Ubuntu specific bug. So far SuSe, Centos and Ubuntu systems tested all have it. So it is a cups specific bug.
The problem appears to be with any printer that does full bleed printing. All of the inkjet photo printers and color lasers I tested failed. Those were Brother MFC-5840CN, MFC-465CN and Samsung CLP315W. The B&W Lasers that I tested on were HP 1200, HP 1320, Brother MFC-7345N and Brother MFC-8670DN. All of those printed fine.
All the pdf files I generated where opened with Acrobat or evince and then printed came out ok. On my system those use gnome-print libraries which I believe convert everything to postscript. Not sure so someone smarter than me needs to add to that.
