Sorry for the long delay, things are somewhat busy. 

The actual problem is that a link (say "Preface") always puts you at the
end of the page where this section is. Now, if you have "continuous
view" activated (in kpdf), it seems as if you are on the next page.
Switching to a one page view (View->Continous) puts you on the correct
page.

The same holds for Acroread (both Windows and Linux). xpdf doesn't use a
continous mode by default, so you don't see the problem there; 
"xpdf -cont octave.pdf" exhibits the same behaviour.

Unless you object, I will close this bug in the near future.
