The original bug appears to be a special case of a general problem that has
been well known for some time (more than a year) but apparently doesn't have a
bug.  That is the problem of skipping sections generally.  <pages /> doesn't
work if you skip either sections or pages, {{page}} works fine for full pages
precisely because you have to list out every page.  Although this is a pain if
you have a frequent occurrence of this issue, that's the solution that ThomasV
had recommended previously.  This is, however, commonly a problem, anytime one
encounters an intentionally blank page or has a book in which only the odd
pages are in English, for example, and are being transcluded.  But solutions to
the general problem have been discussed on wiki and it can probably be dealt
with using templates based {{page|}}.  We may have even done it and I've
forgotten where they are.  Would Beau's solution to extend <pages /> also
handle the sister case of odd or even pages?

Part of the issue in the very specific case used in the bug report was created
by choosing non-standard methods of formatting a complex work.  There are
viable workarounds that were discussed on IRC.  But the general case of the bug
is valid.
