Those are likely errors coming from Poppler, not Evince. Perhaps Evince
could show an error pane if the document fails to load with a "do not
automatically reload this document" checkbox or something like that. I think
that setting shouldn't need to persist; once per viewing session would be
okay I think...

I'm not sure why that happens.

Afaics you you cannot turn automatic reloading off. I think what you can do
as a work-around is opening a copy of the document you're editing. I think
that one wouldn't automatically reload.
