The functionality implemented on Evince is the one you mention on your
message. I checked with this document

http://ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/0131473816/downloads/0131473816_book.pdf


$ evince -p xxvi 0131473816_book.pdf shows page xxvi, number 26 in
absolute values.

So, if you have a problem with this option, open a bug on bugzilla, to
check if there is a bug on the Evince code or if the pdf is bad formed.

Thanks for your interest on improving Evince !!!,
