Indeed this is very frustrating. As domas said on some other bug, it doesn't
matter whose fault it is; what matters is that the site is broken for the users
(and readers).
I think it's useful to discover that the problem lies in some PDF error, that
might even be something users can "easily" solve themselves without waiting
years for a bug fix; if we decide not to work around library restrictions,
though, this doesn't make the problem disappear.
In other words, what are users supposed to do in order to fix those PDFs? Are
there standard commands to do so? We could for instance run a bot on Commons
(this bug would be moved to Wikimedia>General), or at least make the error more
useful.
