The bug in page numbering stems from the 64k blocks that Mobipocket uses and the way they are implemented. In order to do it so page numbers actually worked, they'd have to change things. For example, every time you moved around in a file, they'd have to start from the beginning and count to get to the spot you were at. That could take a while.
