I have also ran into the bug on Precise 12.04 LTS, which is really a shame for an LTS release.

However, I have found a work around that resets the side pane for an afflicted PDF file.

If you can not longer make the size pane smaller:

[1] Close the offending PDF if it is currently opened in evince
[2] At the command line:

    $ gvfs-set-attribute afflicted_file.pdf "metadata::evince::sidebar_size" 100

[3] Reopen PDF and enjoy.

Hopefully this helps somebody a bit until a solution can be reached with regards to hscrollpolicy that finds its way into the official repo.
