Launching from Nautilus shows the same problem for me. You probably need an NFS mount, or maybe even an autofs-mounted NFS mount, to reproduce this. Like I said, it only happens in /net for me.
I just tried copying my file to bar.pdf. Then evince /net/llama/home/peter/bar.pdf works. (It makes a copy in /tmp/evince-8626/document-5-bar.pdf). I tried ln -s ACTInc_Quote#1722076.2.pdf foo.pdf, then evince /net/llama/home/peter/foo.pdf fails, with the message Unable to open document Unhandled MIME type: "application/octet-stream" /tmp/evince-8626 contains lrwxrwxrwx 1 peter peter 26 2007-08-30 16:28 document-6-foo.pdf -> ACTInc_Quote#1722076.2.pdf (i.e. it copied the symlink, and the symlink is broken because it is a relative link.) And sorry, I forgot I wasn't using reportbug...
