I am sorry, but it's not evince bug, it's gtk bug. I am not using evince at all, and still get preview-XXXXXX.pdf files hanging in /tmp.

There's no way that Gtk+ can now when to delete it.  That's documented:

     /**
       * GtkSettings:gtk-print-preview-command:
       *
       * A command to run for displaying the print preview. The command
       * should contain a %f placeholder, which will get replaced by
       * the path to the pdf file.
       *
       * The preview application is responsible for removing the pdf file
       * when it is done.
       *
       * Since: 2.10
       */

It's a NOTABUG then.
