Comment (by boonebgorges):

 I've spent some time trying to reproduce this, given the info you've
 provided here. I'm able to reproduce some weird behavior, but I don't
 think this is the fault of `paginate_links()`. I think the problem has
 something to do with the way that you are overriding the `$wp_query`
 global - it's likely that you're doing it after the main query has already
 run (see `WP::main()` to get a sense of the load order).

 To put the same point another way: When your posts_per_page is greater
 than 5, `/page/3/` works. When posts_per_page is less than 5, the same
 URL, `/page/3`, does not work. This has nothing to do with
 `paginate_links()`.

 Can you provide more complete details about exactly how you are
 overloading the query? Does your first snippet (`$wp_query = ...`) appear
 in a theme template file?
