Pdfinfo from poppler-utils does not show regular units like centimetres or
inches, but it keeps the PDF points. Pdfinfo is a low-level tool that does not
perform unit conversion on its own. However, it does not display the UserUnit
value, so you could say it's somewhat wrong in the sense that it withholds
information.

So to judge who is at fault, it would be relevant to know how Okular obtains
the displayed page size. Does it inspect CropBox/MediaBox and convert to units
itself, or does it retrieve finished unit values from Poppler? In the first
case, the source of the bug would be in Okular, in the second case it would be
in Poppler.
