The above-mentioned command line gives also the correct result on Intrepid now (cups_1.3.8-13).
The problem of evince is that it only sends the even pages to CUPS and lets CUPS then do the N-up. It should send all pages and supply the page-set=even option to the job, so that CUPS removes the odd pages AFTER applying N-up. Or evince should do both the page selection and N-up by itself.
