According to the hyperref manual the correct syntax to override the PDF
fields using pdfinfo is:
\hypersetup{
pdfinfo={
Title={My Title},
Subject={My Subject},
NewKey={Foobar},
}
}
Using that syntax the fields are populated correctly either by
inspecting using pdfinfo command line or directly looking into the pdf.
So in my opinion we rather look at wrong usage. Can we close the issue?
