Just found out that it was caused by files from an old version of font-manager in my home directory (namely .fonts.conf as well as folders under .local, .config and .cache) Removing .fonts.conf resolved the problem for me.
Running evince inside 'valgrind' did work even with the font-manager configuration files in place. It produced a few "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)" messages, but I still get those after cleaning out the font manager config files.
