Comment:

 +1 on fixing this.

 I've attached a better patch, based on the code in my WordPress SEO
 plugin. The pagination canonical Genesis uses is at best agressive
 optimization, and not based on the canonical standards, so we should
 indeed not include that.

 This patch makes sure WordPress outputs a canonical on:

 * singular posts, pages, etc.
 * the homepage & frontpage
 * taxonomy, category & tag archives
 * post type archives
 * dated archives

 It also deals with pagination, both for paged posts and pages and all
 paginated archives.
