Bug Description
I have a file named
art%3A10.
if I open document Properties (Alt+Return) for it I get
Location: file://
So there are extra escape sequences for percent sign (I know that %25 is a code for %). If I try to
ls -l /home/username/
If i try to navigate to correct file /home/username/
So there is an error in % sign processing in evince.

I attempted to recreate this bug in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
I created a txt file named Test%. I as able to open the file as well as use the command ls -l on the file as the OP did. I could not recreate the issue posted.
I also tried naming the file art%253A10. 1007%252FBF0103 4471.pdf as the OP had done.
I can ls -l the file and open it as well.
Both documents were created by right clicking and creating a new document and renaming the file to have a % in the file name. Second file was also created as a pdf from LibreOffice and still worked properly.
