Some time ago I created a simple ePub pagelist test file that demonstrates all of this. (You can ignore the additional files in the archive; they're only relevant for Kindles.)
The above wiki reference and your pagelist test epub both have pagetarget tags with playorder attributes, but your pagelist generator sigil plugin omits the playorder attribute.

Is that because playorder is not required in pagelists?

If something somewhere requires playorder in pagetarget, is it safe to assume that its presence or absence has no effect on kindlegen generated apnx files?
