Comment:

 I have done further testing on this issue under QGIS 1.6 and QGIS Trunk
 r15130. I can confirm that this bug happens on windows and not linux. I
 tried both new and old symbology, but have not yet tried only point, line
 or polygon one at a time yet.

 Here's a link to an easy to use simple dataset and example pdfs made on
 windows and linux.

 I think this issue would be more minor if the SVG export was better,
 though I think fixing he pdf export might be more realistic. I am changing
 the Priority, for several Windows users I know this is a major deal
 breaker as it really impedes their ability to make quality maps without
 pdf as vector or svg that clips to extent and preserves scale.
