D'oh... scrap this.

Mea culpa máxima! (It's too late at night I made an error.)

Of course pdfinfo is right in reporting the values it does, and podofopdfinfo
is wrong.

 "Page size" is not defined at all in the PDF spec, and it says this in its
definition of "crop box":

  +------------------------------------------------------------+
  |  A rectangle, expressed in default user space units,  that |
  |  shall define the region to which the contents of the page |
  |  shall be clipped when output in a production environment. |
  +------------------------------------------------------------+

Therefor it is quite reasonable what pdfinfo reports as "page size" for the
example PDF.

Sorry for the noise.
