I went into evince's printer settings, and found that under 'Page Setup', the 'Paper size' had been set to something named 'Letter small borders' or similar. So it looks like the severity of the bug could reasonably reduced since at some point in the past there WAS a user non- default configuration that triggered this error, and it's not reproducible by default on bionic if you're just using US Letter as your paper size. Nevertheless it still means that after upgrade, a gtk printer config that was valid ceases to be valid with no obvious explanation why.
