It seems like this was fixed in a somewhat different way in this commit:

commit d5f629d193ffe88c464379f02dd2adaadc9dfdf0
Author:     Federico Tedin <federicotedin <at> gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Sun Feb 3 13:48:31 2019 -0300
Commit:     Tassilo Horn <tsdh <at> gnu.org>
CommitDate: Mon Feb 4 16:47:00 2019 +0100

But it's basically the same idea (and has the same problems as Stefan's
patch); it introduces this helper function:

(defun doc-view-pdfdraw-program-subcommand ()
  "Return the mutool subcommand replacing mudraw.
Recent MuPDF distributions replaced `mudraw' with `mutool draw'."
  (when (string-match "mutool[^/\\]*$" doc-view-pdfdraw-program)
    '("draw")))

I think a better solution would have been to allow the command to be a
list, for instance, so you could have '("mutool" "draw") be the command.

But I guess nobody has complained, so I'm closing this bug report.
