Ok, first of all, I HATE BUGZILLA !!!!
Having said that, let's come to the point.
Issue stated here is an evince bug, not a poppler one.
Xpdf relied on xpdfrc file for font substitution while handling non-emmbedded
fonts. Poppler still does, but now you have to explicitly call GlobalParams
metod to read that file. In fact if you add in pdf/ev-poppler.cc something as
simple as:
#include <GlobalParams.h>

in poppler include block and

globalParams = GlobalParams ("");

in pdf_document_init (PdfDocument *pdf_document),
xpdfrc gets to be read (.xpdfrc in $HOME , if you have it, /etc/xpdfrc
otherwise), and if that file contains correct entries those japanese pdfs are
displayed correctly. Of course, only required entries are cidToUnicode and
cMapDir, as the rest is handled by fontconfig (Cmaps are often installed with
ghostscript, cidToUnicode files have to be taken from xpdf).

For pdf examples check http://www.japanpen.or.jp/e-bungeikan/index.html
on its subpages there are dozens of those.

Oops, missed the fact that you transfed it FROM evince bugzilla, you probably
should transer it back, I'm not planning to register to anoter bugzilla today.
