I went back to the start of the book, and then did a "goto page 52". Did this take me to the start of chapter 7? No - it actually took me almost to chapter 8. I had to page back 14 pages - to what was now shown as page 38- in order to find the start of chapter 7, so that's a discrepency of 14 pages in 52.
Page numbers are virtually meaningless in ALL versions of the Mobi reader. I rest my case!

I tested with FBReader and noticed that one page forward not always gave me one new page number. I did not find a jump to page but I suspect that it could work better with FBReader.
I am suprised because it seems simple to implement something that works better. There is no reason why page jump and paging forward should en up on different pages if you define page as what the page number says.
