I found a workaround in case anyone's interested. By redirecting stderr to a file.
It would be something like: gnome-open myfile.pdf 2> FileWithAllTheWarnings && rm FileWithAllTheWarnings

Doesn't fix the problem, but at least you can now open pdf files from
the terminal without getting all those warnings. Hope it helps.
