pdf that prints with weird spirals instead of some spaces

this has been escalated from the KDE bugtracker. originally thought to be an
issue with Okular, it has become apparent the issue lies in poppler itself. the
original bug report can be seen here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325908

long story short:

The attached PDF, when printing, on some lines, spaces are replaced with a
spiral character I can't identify. An example is the second line of the
guarantee on page 8. 

This is with KDE 4.10.5 (Kubuntu 13.04) and Okular 0.16.5 (GPL Ghostscript 9.07
(2013-02-14)).

No problem with Adobe Reader, lp, or KDE 4.8.5/Kubuntu 12.04.3/Okular 0.14.3
(GPL Ghostscript 9.05 (2012-02-08)).

pdftops has no problem, but gs .ps results in a segfault when it hits the
aforementioned line.
