This can be a significant problem as you point out and I think that the epub standard ignores it.

Another way to handle pagination is how MS Reader does it. When you open an ebook, pagination is done in the background. While this is going on, you can start reading immediately. If you change font size, another background pagination. I don't know if it saves this information to reuse. I'll have to do a test and see.
Edit: Just did a quick test with MS Reader. I does save the pagination information for an ebook when you change font sizes, but only until you close Reader. This isn't bad, but I think saving this information for the last 5-10 ebooks you read would be a better idea.
An epub reader that did background pagination like MS reader does, but saved that information for re-use would certainly be a workable solution.
