Hi Dick,
I have not actually done it, but I think you should look at using the
intermediate file format that most XSL-FO processors can output. For
example, FOP has:
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.1/intermediate.html
That format is an XML rendering of the area tree as pages. It contains
page numbers and ids, so I think you could use it to post process the
epub by matching up ids and inserting page numbers.

Has anyone on the list tackled the challenge of generating a page list for ePub
output?
A page list is a mapping of print page numbers to locations in the ePub.
I don't see any easy way to do it; I suspect it would take some kind of parsing
of a PDF version of the book, and post-processing of the ePub based on that
parsing.
But, before I decide whether it's worth even trying, I thought I'd ask the
group whether anyone has thought about approaches to the problem.
Best regards,
Dick Hamilton
