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.
They work without problems when you use them to show the pagenumber in
the header/footer
because these elements are added when the page is finished and the
values don't change anymore.
What doesn't works is to use them to print the number of the current
page within running text
because TeX collects more text than it can fit on a single page which
can result in the number
of the previous page when the text is moved to the next one.
