It's definitely a Poppler issue. I can reproduce this with poppler 0.11.1 thusly:
$ pdfimages --version pdfimages version 0.11.1 [snip] $ pdfimages 1972.pdf tmp Error (147774): 3 extraneous bytes after segment Bogus memory allocation size
The PDF in question is 1972.pdf; it's linked to from the following URL:
http://doddcenter.uconn.edu/collections/nutmeg/index.htm
I'm not attaching it here because it's 18MB, and also because I'm not sure how redistributable it is. The file I have was last modified Thu, 11 Jun 2009 20:08:45 GMT, and has md5sum 9ee38b8f90dbe343163f9927d37c35bd.
