It's not the same bug. The document you attached uses Type 3 fonts, which in theory are drawn using Postscript (not PDF) primitives, but in practice are just bitmaps. Ghostview and Acrobad do a fine job with these, but poppler-based readers don't handle them well at all.
The issue being discussed here only pertains to Type 1 fonts. So, unfortunately, I'm afraid your best bet for non-atrocious rendering is Acroread (yech!)
