Doesn't really make sense. I have never seen problems in either 
direction, making a PDF in Windows, viewing in Linux, or vice versa.

Something must be wrong with their PDF viewers, or the PDF got 
corrupted. Have you had them give you their PDFs to see if you can open 
them?
Make sure they're using the latest Scribus -- should be 1.3.3.6
Maybe a uninstall/reinstall of Scribus is worth a try.
