OK, just now I backed up /usr/share/themes/Ambiance to /usr/share/themes/Ambiance.DIST and made the same three trivial changes to the them -- changed selected_bg_color from #f07746 to #008ab8 in gtk-3.0/settings.ini, gtk-3.0/gtkrc, and gtk-2.0/gtkrc -- and switched to this updated Ambiance theme. Evince works fine now, with my minor color change.
So, this definitely seems like a bug in evince. Again, my directories and files should all be accessible to evince running as my user (morse): morse@s3 ~> ls -ld /home/morse drwxr-xr-x 96 morse morse 16384 2011-10-17 17:43 /home/morse morse@s3 ~> ls -ld /home/morse/.themes/ drwx------ 6 morse morse 4096 2011-10-17 17:45 /home/morse/.themes/ morse@s3 ~> ls -ld /home/morse/.themes/Dougs Theme/ drwx------ 4 morse morse 4096 2011-07-25 13:24 /home/morse/.themes/Dougs Theme/ and all the dirs and files under 'Dougs Theme' are uid/gid morse/morse and mode 700 (dirs) / 600 (files).

I have run strace on evince -- attached -- of which the last four lines are: access("/home/morse/.themes/Dougs Theme/gtk-3.0/gtk.css", F_OK) = 0 open("/home/morse/.themes/Dougs Theme/gtk-3.0/gtk.css", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ All the relevant directories (/home, /home/morse, /home/morse/.themes/, etc.) are either mode 755 or 700, files are mode 600, and all have uid/gid that is my account. So, I'm quite puzzled as to why evince is getting a permission denied error, and even more so as to why this would result in a segfault. Any help most appreciated, as I use evince all the time and it's rather annoying having to change my theme back to "Ambiance" just to get evince to work, whereas all other apps I've used since upgrading to 11.10 work just fine with my slightly customized theme. Thanks.
