As an experiment, I did

    sed -i '\|/Border \[0 0 1\]|c/Border [0 0 0]' evince.pdf

and sure enough, the borders are gone (at least when viewed with
evince).

It occurs to me that another explanation is possible -- the conversion
from html2ps' PostScript to evince's PDF is done by ps2pdf, from
ghostscript.  Perhaps a recent upgrade of ghostscript added this
"feature".
