I'm pretty sure I acknowledged this as the only case where faux pages are reliably consistent.

As for your example, do you have—at hand—an example of two pbooks where the page numbers in the text only version lined up with the page numbers in the illustrated edition with 16 full page illustrations in the first 32 pages? Preferably two editions with the same font/font size/line and/or paragraph spacing, margins/etc and a page number assigned to each of the full page illustrations.

The example is not necessarily an illustrated edition of Book A and a non-illustrated edition of Book A, but Book A and Book B where A is illustrated and B is not. Page 32 in both A and B are the same position in physical editions of each book. Faux page 32 is different positions in electronic editions of A and B because neither ADE nor Kepub account for images in their countings.
I dislike this inconsistency across different books. Counting page turns solves this particular problem but introduces a bunch of others.
Long story short: there is no synthetic page counting algorithm that will work consistently in all cases.
