> Are we sure the bug was in Poppler?

No. But there is no test case, nor AFAICT a known way to test under the
same circumstances (which are in parts unknown - e.g. into which prefix
was the user-compiled poppler version installed? which poppler version
was inkscape trunk installed from PPA actually attempting to load?).

I was mistaken about stable Inkscape 0.91 though - the project does indeed 
offer 0.91 for 12.04 via PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/ubuntu/stable
If the reporter still uses (K)Ubuntu 12.04, it might be worthwhile to undo any 
local poppler upgrades, install Inkscape 0.91 from PPA and retest PDF import, 
relying on poppler installed via package manager (i.e. the same version against 
which the PPA build is compiled).

OTOH we do have similar reports against stable 0.91 (on newer distros) which 
are still open (it's a crash though instead of hang that also occurs even 
before the PDF import dialog is opened):
bug #1584659 and duplicate bug #1584659
