Bug#567363: evince cannot correctly save some pdf forms

I just encountered this in a more serious form -- evince now
attempts to save filled in data in forms, but doesn't it doesn't
always work. I was also filling in my tax information to an IRS form,
tested to make sure saving the form data worked before I got started,
and then started filling things out -- when I saved partway through, I
got a corrupt file and lost all my information.
I'm having difficulty reproducing the bug, but I do have the saved
corrupt files (two different kinds: one was just a 0-byte file, the
other seemed to include the filled in form data but none of the data
from the original PDF, and is not a valid PDF). To me this seems like
it should have severity "serious", since it leads to data loss in its
current form -- no?
