yeah it's strange and I found that if i re-add the same book (by dragging it directly from its current folder in calibre library into calibre), page counts updates instantly.

then I tried copying metadata from the errored book and pasting it into the newly added one... Page count is still ok.

BTW, is there a way to trigger recount just for selected book?

the 'approximate formats' is from a custom column I have been using for ages now, before calibre implemented something that it provided before, IIRC:

Code:
Column header: f
Lookup name: f
Type: composite
Description: Formats
Is Composite: Yes
Template: {:'re(approximate_formats(), ',', ', ')'}
Web Search Template: 
Display Settings: {'composite_sort': 'text', 'make_category': False, 'contains_html': False, 'use_decorations': False, 'description': 'Formats', 'composite_show_in_comments': False, 'composite_store_template_value_in_opf': False}
I will post this book and some others I may find useful in my debug logs via private bug report, but I might be able to do this later only.
