I think you should report the issue to the upstream, I mean poppler developers. MSYS2 just packages it.

I can not reproduce the issue with a test pdf file. The new pdf file can be opened in okular without any error.

The issue was reported to poppler from a Linux user https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/issues/1521

I can not reproduce the issue in ArchLinux either. I have commented that in the poppler issue.
