The application/pdf part is in a multipart/related context. Due to bug 351224 such attachments are no longer displayed even if they are properly wired with Context-IDs as seems to be the case here. This use case is handled in a follow-up bug to bug 602718, which will provide a workaround starting with Thunderbird 8.0.
