I think the problem is that you need to do a Save As "Book with fm
components" .. if you save a map to a composite document, it should fix
up any xrefs within that map to point to the FM instance of the
reference (itself actually), but if you have xrefs that point to DITA
topics in other maps or not included in that map, they will remain
pointing to the XML instance.
In general, I think the best practice is to use the Save As Book with
FM components .. then you can either update that book or use another
book file that you've set up .. but this should ensure that the
references are correctly linked to the new FM instances of the topics.
I just gave it a quick test in default FM-DITA and it seems to work as
it should (I've got both updates installed though).

Here's what I'm doing:
1. Creating dita topics (.xml)
2. Creating dita maps (my sections/chapters) and adding the dita topics as
children.
3. Saving the dita maps as composite fm files.
4. Creating a book (File: New: Book)
5. Adding composite fms (my sections/chapters) to the book.
6. Adding front matter, TOC etc... Via the book. Setting up pagination,
etc...
7. Getting PDF out via "Print Book".
I installed an update. Still no joy. TOC page numbering and page numbering
in the page footers are correct, but page numbering in Xrefs still wrong.

Subject: Re: Xref page numbering not correct
Right .. if he created the book with XML components, then there's no
conversion and no relinking of xrefs .. but I was under the impression that
he used the "Save As FM Components" from the map. That should generate a
book and FM components from the XML files and relink any references from the
DITA source to the new FM files.

No. The conversion from map to book should repoint the references to the
new generated FM files. You should be able to author in DITA XML files, then
create a book from that which can be made into a proper PDF. If that's not
the case, it's a bug.
Not if Steve created a book with XML components (ie, book), rather than FM
components (ie, book with FM components). Boo boos happen sometimes. I've
done it myself.
