I think, this is the same as the upstream bug <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606090> and its possible dupe <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607475>. I saw the new behavior with Evince 2.29.5 on Karmic and found it utterly annoying too. Unfortunately, I haven't tested with the latest trunk, maybe it has been already reverted.
While per-file settings are generally a good thing, the option to start Evince with the sidebar closed should be available. The other change from 2.28.1 - default zoom value "Fit Page Width" for new Evince windows - is fine IMHO.
