The conversion chain used to produce the pdfs is one you could as well do by hand. So I suspect that the problem is a bug in the PDF viewers and should be reported to Adobe and Apple.
As for a workaround, you can convert the pdf graphics to some other format fairly easily. (I'm guessing you are on Linux, so: convert myfile.pdf myfile.png, though maybe you want something other than png.) It probably won't make much of a difference to the final pdf. Richard
