This happens for me when I recompile a document in pdflatex and the number of pages decreases---this behaviour is reproducible. It doesn't however occur if I clone upstream evince and compile it.

This seems much likely to happen when pdflatex ended with an error in normal stop mode (-interaction errorstopmode). It happens however, in other pdflatex interaction modes and possibly even when the file is rewritten without any errors (although less likely). There are or were similar bugs, namely Bug #36250, Bug #16973, and Bug #137635, but this one seems different because it is happening only lately to me and these bugs are old. I was using this workflow in Ubuntu 14.04 and earlier and it worked well. Now I'm using Lubuntu 15.04 and the crash is almost regular (when pdflatex fails). I realize that the PDF is invalid, so it is a bad situation for Evince but in past Evince was able to deal with that. I think it was just showing the old version of PDF. If it would show nothing it would be good as well, perhaps even better (but remembering the position in the document would be useful too).
