I've just experienced the same bug.
What follows is a (probably) minimal test case to reproduce the bug:
$ cat bfrange-test.tex
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\vec{\nabla}
\end{equation}
\end{document}
$ latex bfrange-test.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)

Please note that, if the same LaTeX source is compiled with pdflatex,
the resulting PDF file does *not* generate errors, when viewed with
xpdf.
Taking into account that the same errors are reportedly seen with other
PDF viewers, such as evince (see bug #576404), I am beginning to
suspect that the problem could lie in some texlive package, rather than
in the PDF viewers...
I hope that the additional information I provided may be useful to
pinpoint the problem...
