I also used the page slider to randomly pick a spot in the middle of the book and tried again. I didn't see any problems with the page numbering.

Some weird page numbering can happen if every file in the book isn't in the ToC or there are multiple ToC entries for a file. That might explain what you are seeing. If so, it isn't strictly a bug. This is against what specs Kobo have published for kepubs, so the behaviour is undefined.

In any case, we've wandered off topic for the thread, and we should move to the Kobo forum for any further discussion.
It only seems to happen when I use the Toc; if I use the next chapter button, I don't see the problem. When you say "skip to the next chapter", did you pick the chapter from the ToC?

Edit: And FWIW, I believe I see this behavior for all kepubs.
