Here is a quick update on what I found out: The xpdf changes in debian (that are also in oneiric) are not responsible for fixing the issue. Instead, some change in the poppler library (which was also updated in oneiric) fixes the crash. I'll try to find out what change exactly is necessary. In the meantime, could someone experiencing the issue try to install the libpoppler13 library from oneiric (http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/libpoppler13 -- download links at the bottom) and confirm that this fixes the xpdf crash (please do that only if you also know how you could revert such a manual installation)?
