I'm not sure, but please check the value of `doc-view-current-cache-dir' in the doc-view buffer. Have a look at this directory. Does it contain the png files of the document? My suspicion is that you tried to open that doc once some time ago, doc-view created the directory but conversion failed. Now it thinks that it can load the png files because the directory exists. Try `M-x doc-view-clear-cache' or remove the directory manually. Bye, Tassilo
