Comment (by dstebila):

 I have this problem as well on WP 2.5.1 on PHP 4.4.1.

 Although I am not very familiar with the WP internals, I have come up with
 two possible workarounds.  These work for me, but '''could damage your
 system''' so be careful.  I believe Approach 1 is safer because it only
 changes the presentation on the Javascript level, whereas Approach 2
 messes with the internals of a PHP function.

 __Approach 1:__  Re-enable the slug field for pages.  In the file wp-
 admin/js/page.js, change the line
 {{{
 jQuery('#pageslugdiv').hide();
 }}}
 to
 {{{
 // jQuery('#pageslugdiv').hide();
 }}}

 __Approach 2:__  Try to fix the permalink box for draft pages.  In the
 file wp-admin/includes/post.php, change the following lines
 {{{
                 $uri = get_page_uri($post->ID);
                 $uri = untrailingslashit($uri);
                 $uri = strrev( stristr( strrev( $uri ), '/' ) );
                 $uri = untrailingslashit($uri);
                 if ( !empty($uri) )
                         $uri .='/';
                 $permalink = str_replace('%pagename%', "${uri}%pagename%",
 $permalink);

 }}}
 to
 {{{
                 if (in_array($original_status, array('draft', 'pending')))
 {
                         $permalink = '%pagename%';
                 } else {
                         $uri = get_page_uri($post->ID);
                         $uri = untrailingslashit($uri);
                         $uri = strrev( stristr( strrev( $uri ), '/' ) );
                         $uri = untrailingslashit($uri);
                         if ( !empty($uri) )
                                 $uri .='/';
                         $permalink = str_replace('%pagename%',
 "${uri}%pagename%", $permalink);
                 }

 }}}
