 Mentioned on WP-Hackers. If a static paginated page is used for the front
 page and wp_link_pages is used in the theme, the pagination links will
 return 404 because get_permalink will return the front page URL as the
 root of paginated links. I marked it as a bug since it can cause 404
 errors if you don't know about it.

 The enclosed patch tests for is_front_page and static pages using
 alternate _get_page_link functions for paginated content and using
 get_permalink for standard paginated links. It even works when a child
 page is set for the front page.

 This was a quick patch from a custom function, so it could probably be
 written a little better.
