Good suggestion. No, using ' instead of " doesn't change what happens.
So this is evince trying to handle RE: as magical.
Also:
evince 'RE\: something.pdf'
fails because evince tries to open a file with \ in its name.
So: evince itself is interpreting the : but isn't providing the obvious
way of quoting the character
Perhaps evince is using some GNOME library to deal with filenames.
