I think you just hit bull's eye there. This was what I tested with:

[alver at Crusoe ~]$ dpkg -l *poppler* | grep ^ii
ii  libpoppler-glib8:amd64 0.26.5-2     amd64        PDF rendering library (GLib-based shared library)
ii  libpoppler46:amd64     0.26.5-1     amd64        PDF rendering library
ii  poppler-data           0.4.7-1      all          encoding data for the poppler PDF rendering library
ii  poppler-utils          0.26.5-2     amd64        PDF utilities (based on Poppler)

Do note the slight version difference between libpoppler46:amd64 and
libpoppler-glib8:amd64.

When installing libpoppler-dev as you requested, it pulled in
libpoppler46:amd64 0.26.5-2, and lo and behold, evince opens PDFs again. So
something in the tiny versions caused it, and somehow the version didn't get up
to my workstation until just now.
