The code that caused this problem has been found. It was poppler commit "512b2c654fd80c83b82e7adc828a478a18de17ab" on July 26, 2009. You have poppler 0.12.0 as a dependency, and this commit was made prior to that release.

I posted a patch against the latest poppler source on freedesktop. Now that the cause is known, any version of poppler after the bad commit should be easy to patch. If my patch is committed to poppler, eventually there will be another poppler patch, where what the 512b...17ab was trying to do will be put in - correctly. Until then, people can revert to the old way if they want.
