Since this happens 99% of the time, it can be considered a fallback but a
default behaviour.
You cannot assume that everyone using the library will spend 3-4 hours try to
find out the cause and then correct it.
I personally don't like Thumbnail, so I really don't care, but I consider such
a option as very user unfriendly. 

The same goes for the other problem I reported a few days ago:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51974
(when clicking a Table of Contents Item, the viewer will go to that position)

In both cases when the minimal changes are applied, your own demo will work
properly. These changes from your side would be proportional to the you expect
from everyone else.

I have also noted the the 0.20.1 breaks gdal:

was:
SplashOutputDev::startDoc(poDoc->getXRef())
now:
SplashOutputDev::startDoc(poDoc);

just as:
setErrorFunction
has been replaced with:
setErrorCallback
with different parameters.

this means that gdal will fail if a poppler library of 0.20.1.
This to is very user unfriendly to expects that thousands of people spend hours
trying to figure this out.

This I would say that the poppler library is consider in many places
unreliable/in stable.
