this sounds to me like you're making a mountain out of a mole hill. Just pick a numbering scheme. Or heaven forbid, provide an option.
Again, more overcomplicating the problem.

So you don't want the inline TOC to display the page numbers as well as the TOC displayed by parsing the toc.ncx file?
For me the only reason for having page numbers instead of, oh shocking thought, just navigating to a chapter would be to match the page numbers with a dead tree book. In a dead tree book, the page numbers are fixed and you need to flip through the pages to get to a chapter which is rather different from tapping on "Chapter 10 – The Wager Lost By Winning" and being deposited at that position in the ebook.
Perhaps you can enlighten me as to why you would want a number that lacks any true relevance to be displayed?
I really don't think that I am making a mountain out of a molehill. I however do seem to realize how the page numbers displayed in an epub format ebook are synthesized. If you can point me in the direction of a easy bug free method of inserting page numbers into the toc.ncx file -- remembering that we have a limited number of characters and several times I have seen TOC entries that required a tap to display the full chapter title and other entries that used an image file.
