You can't use page counters in running text without problems because you're working against the way how TeX constructs pages.

The only reliable way are multipass solutions like the pagestate or reference mechanism.

If commands such as \pagenumber and \userpagenumber don’t work reliably then maybe the commands should be removed? Just a thought. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
