Part of the differences between us could be the font size and screen size. I was testing on the Libra H2O with the font about third of the way from the right. Line spacing and margins set to the minimum. And no patches.
For the percent read and time left, I do not believe this has changed. From what I can see, these are based on the word counts, not the page counts. You can see this with a book that has images, especially if the images are collected more to one end of the book than the other.

I did another test of this on a completely unpatched AuraHD using built-in Georgia with line spacing and margins set to minimum.
I used a kepub short story (cover + single chapter with no images), so Total "pages" should always be chapter "pages" plus 1, but it never is, no matter what font-size is used. Screenshot attached.
I would estimate the footer 'x of 106' failed to increment about once every 6 page turns. As you implied, this is probably very variable depending on font, size, margins, line spacing.
Anyway, I can't really get too worked up about it all because I don't use these footer numbers. Hopefully Kobo will get round to re-examining their algorithm at some point.
Incidentally, this problem was also present in fw 4.23.15505. I don't have any devices with a fw older than this.
