There is an old bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/referencer/+bug/401837
in the same area, which was fixed in
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~referencer-devs/referencer/trunk/revision/857

Basically, Referencer uses GNOME's GIO to open the document in the
default viewer, since version 1.2.0. You should get approximately the
same behavior using "gvfs-open docname.pdf" in the terminal. What
happens if you use Nautilus to open the file?

However, I also recall that the acroread package adds some
bash-completion stuff which might also influence the results.
