1-page PDF with CropBox different from MediaBox

Attached is a 1-page PDF which uses...

 ... a media box of 667x950 pt, accompanied by 
 ... a crop  box of 595x842 pt (no bleed-, trim- or art box specified).

Yet pdfinfo reports as "page size" a value of 595x842 pt (when it should be
667x950 pt, or not?)

The value pdfinfo calculates here is the width and height of the trim box, not
the page size....

A 'competitor' to pdfinfo, podofopdfinfo, reports the expected value:

    File: my-cropped.pdf
    PDF Version: 1.4
    Page Count: 1
    Page Size: 667 x 950 pts



Editing the PDF's *trim* box values to [667 950] yields the correct *page*
size:
