I helped chase down a similar bug earlier in gnumeric a year or two ago.
The problem there was that the colon was causing the url identifier to
believe that the file is a url of "<pathuptocolon>:<stuffaftercolon".

The same is the case here. forcing a file:// url works regarless of
colon. The bug is triggered on colon, and that's what I searched for.

So the workaround is to use the file:// url syntax, and the solution is
for someone to reach in to evince and fix the horkage.  This might be in
gvfs's command-line parser; I don't know and don't have time to fish
around to find the fix (I have to leave town in 4 days and I must have
my dissertation defence scheduled by then, which requires having the
dissertation done)
