FYI I just reinstalled poppler, bug still occurs exactly as it did with
the file I attached at first, so it clearly still isn't fixed.

Some extensive googling has revealed that evince added support for DRM
in pdf files previously, and after a big stink in 2005, it was removed.
Looking in gconf-editor, I noticed the override_restrictions value under
apps > evince, and it is enabled.  Since clearly evince does not support
DRM, or at the least, is currently set to ignore it, I am starting to
think maybe evince is misinterpreting the DRM as a password.  However,
when disabling the option in gconf-editor, the problem continues
unabated.

I cannot believe the developers are busying themselves with making
embedded images render faster when such basic functionality as being
able to open the file in the first place is being ignored!  Someone
PLEASE mark this confirmed so the devs will at least start working on
it!
