Crash when importing big PDFs via poppler

I have PDFs with an embedded raster image. If that image gets too big I can no longer import the file with poppler, the internal PDF importer still works.

Output on the shell:

Entity: line 4: parser error : AttValue length too long

followed by a SIGABRT.

This seems to be related to the following bugs: bug #1243011, bug #1373322 and bug #1073315.

Converting the PDF to an SVG with pdftocairo results in a file that Inkscape can open.

Versions used:
libxml2: 2.9.2
libcairo2: 1.14.0
