Seems to work here[fn:1]. One thing that seems slightly broken is that
if the file is huge and docview takes a while to convert it, then the
goto-page part does not seem to be effective:

,----
| (defun org-docview-open (link)
|   (when (string-match "\\(.*\\)::\\([0-9]+\\)$"  link)
|     (let* ((path (match-string 1 link))
|          (page (string-to-number (match-string 2 link))))
|       (org-open-file path 1) ;; let org-mode open the file (in-emacs = 1)
|       ;; to ensure org-link-frame-setup is respected
|       (doc-view-goto-page page)
|       )))
`----

It stays on p.1 in that case. It works OK for small files.

Can you turn on debug-on-error and post the backtrace?
