In acroread you can control this with
Edit->Preferences->Page Display->Use logical page numbers

Bear in mind that this feature is always optional. You can, for
example, display the PDF reference with xpdf also (which then uses
physical page numbers). I don't see any problem here. There's a lot
of free software which supports the PDF standard, so why not support
this particularly nice feature?

I have the same feeling -- it's just filling up a single dictionary
with the numbers of pages of the TOC. Unfortunately, my PDF knowledge
is too limited to add this to texinfo.
