I don't know if it helps, but I find that xpdf works as expected if I start it from bash, but crashes in the manner described in the original
bug report if I start xpdf from iceweasel 3.5.16-4 (even when that was
started from the same xterm).

For me at least, it happens on literally every PDF I've found on the web. If you have no problem with opening http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/testpages/test.pdf, then you don't have this problem. I've included my system configuration below in case you can see a pattern.
