yeah, I don't know, we don't patch evince's code so I'm not sure what is at play there... note that doing a "cp" from the command line ends up with the same permissions that the evince copy

The files are copied with the same permissions they have when downloaded by Firefox to tmp (r--------) - this leads to the protected badge icon being displayed over the file in Nautilus and a file which is less accessible (from a privileges perspective) than others created and saved to my home directory (with the default permissions of rw- rw-r--). I think it would be good to remain consistent with the default permissions when effectively creating a new document rather than maintaining the more restrictive permissions of the temporary file.
