Did you make the PDF with CL-PDF?  Perhaps you could share the code that
you used to make it?  At a guess, it sounds like you might have mixed up
your use of PDF:IN-TEXT-MODE.

FWIW, I doubt that the operating system is an important factor here.
Perhaps the reader you used on Windows is simply less tolerant of broken
files.

One nice tool for debugging PDF files is xpdf with the -cmd option.
