Beside manipulating page numbers, Amazon also make changes to the location where books open for the first time and often removes fonts embedded by the publisher. Conversion to KFX format makes extensive formatting changes. There may be other changes made that I am unaware of.
When something goes wrong it is often hard to tell whether it is the publisher's fault or Amazon's.

It may be that the publisher labeled those pages in the HTML content but failed to include them in the pagelist. Or Amazon may have removed them for some unknown reason. I don't know of any way to tell.

Amazon's processing of books has some strange anomalies. I suspect that bugs in their handling of page numbers have gone unnoticed and unfixed because no one has been paying close attention to those details and it works well enough for them.
