Public bug reported:
I have a PDF-file that, when being cropped by "pdfcrop", is always
cropped at the top by 28 pts more than expected.
For example
pdfcrop --margins "-734 -14 -43 -42" that.pdf out1.pdf
acts as if I specified "-734 -42 -43 -42".
Trivial
pdfcrop --margins "0 0 0 0" that.pdf out2.pdf
doesn't leave the PDF intact but removes the 28pt stripe from the top.
Interesting that cutting "0 0 0 0" again, i.e.
pdfcrop --margins "0 0 0 0" out2.pdf out3.pdf
doesn't seem to change anything.
I'm not an expect, but I see nothing special in the original PDF file
(that.pdf). The "pdfinfo" says for it:

I can provide that PDF file, but I prefer to do it privately (there's
nothing secret in it, just I'm not sure whether the copyright owner will
be happy if I share public it for everyone).
