AFAIR I used "pdfnup --nup 2x1 --outfile /tmp/t.pdf article.pdf". The
article was from a not-yet-published journal; I think it can be
downloaded from Springer so if you have a Springer subscription I can
look up the link, but I fear I'm not allowed to forward the article.

Just typing 'pdflatex' and then pressing 'Ctrl+D' works.

I think 0.5.0-1 was installed from experimental. I did not test/check
sid but a clean etch chroot does work without a problem. On AMD64 with
the same library versions (including libpoppler) there is no SIGSEGV,
just typing 'pdflatex' works, but the same pdfnup command still gives
/usr/bin/pdflatex: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/pdflatex: undefined symbol: _ZN6PDFDocC1EP9GooStringS1_S1_
immediately, even without valgrind.
Feel free to reassign the bug if you think it is a fault of libpoppler.
