Initially, i was able to reproduce this, using -nw -Q with 24.4.1, on
Debian Wheezy x86_64 - in a console, and in an X terminal
(specifically, urxvt) as well.

i then instrumented the `doc-view-mode` function, stepping through it
line-by-line, and was still able to consistently reproduce the issue.

i then instrumented `doc-view-initiate-display` instead, and stepped
through it line-by-line .... and when it reached `(doc-view-open-text)`
and called it, the text was extracted and displayed in a buffer.

i'm now no longer able to reproduce the issue with -nw -Q.

What might cause this?
