Yes, I know it is a pathological case however I have, according to my notes, run into this issue in several commercial ePubs and in 2 ePubs that failed upload to KDP since Amazon does not support Base64 encoded images.
Including base64 inside an ePub is (IMHO) incredibly stupid. That is an outlier instead of a norm thankfully.

But for a normal ePub, the ADE/RMSDK page numbers do work well. I use it for my count pages result. This way I can see how long the book is before it's loaded on my Kobo. I know we also have the word count, but I've gotten used to ADE page numbers. as I've been using them long before Count Pages existed.
