Comment (by dd32):

 It seems to be that the remaining issues being experienced is this
 scenario, which is sounding like a combination of #35482 and this ticket.

 * Static page on front, no posts page defined
 * `query_posts()` or `$wp_query = new WP_Query()` used within the template
 to display the first page of posts
 * `/page/2/` would then load page 2 of the posts index with no static page
 in sight.

 The problem I face, is that `/page/2/` should NOT be the archive of posts,
 it should be the second page of the static home page (You can paginate
 posts/pages using the `<!--nextpage-->` tag in your content).
