Here is a much smaller pdf file (also produced by Mac OS X 10.6.8 Quartz
PDFContext) that seems to elicit the same behaviour from  pdftk:

$ pdftk test.pdf burst
Unhandled Java Exception:

On the other hand, gs doesn't appear to think anything is wrong with it:

$ gs -o nul -sDEVICE=nullpage test.pdf
