PDF cannot be opened with zathura, but can be opened with MuPDF (Assertion `"This should never happen" == NULL' failed)

This PDF cannot be opened by zathura with the zathura-pdf-mupdf plugin, giving the following error message:

zathura: source/fitz/colorspace.c:1486: fast_rgb_to_cmyk: Assertion `"This should never happen" == NULL' failed.

I've seen more issues posted here with this error message, but those PDFs generally couldn't be opened with MuPDF either. However, MuPDF opens this PDF just fine. I'd also like to add that more PDFs have this issue (while they can be opened with MuPDF); they are all scientific articles and the one I linked is an example that isn't behind a paywall.

I'm using the following version of zathura on Gentoo:

zathura 0.3.8
(plugin) pdf-mupdf (0.3.2) (/usr/lib64/zathura/pdf.so)

My MuPDF version is 1.13.0.
