I did another test with a commercial book with real page numbers and was surprised that it wouldn't display page numbers, when I activated the menu bar.
Out of curiosity, I selected Go To > Page or Location and in the Go to Page or Location dialog box both "real page numbers" and locations could be selected.
When I did the same with my test book, both pages and locations were being displayed and could be selected also (see screen capture).
It looks like that there's either a bug in the latest PW2 firmware that disables the automatic display of page numbers or something is wrong with my particular PW2 or my PW2 settings.
However, there doesn't seem to be any user setting to display or hide page numbers.

If other PW2 owners read this thread: does your PW display page numbers when you select the menu bar? If so, did you have to enable/disable a particular setting to display it?

@KevinH: I'm sorry if I caused you extra work. After all, your code does work fine even with PW2 Kindles. It's just that PW2 Kindles with the latest firmware apparently don't display page numbers. However, page numbers can be selected via the Go To menu.
