Comment(by dd32):

 > /page1/ is treated as identical to / on 2.9 and 3.0.

 The WordPress paging system actually accepts /page/1/ and /page1 by
 design. The same goes for /page2 and /page/2

 The canonical system doesnt reconise /page2 as a paging link however. 2
 options are available for this situation:
  * Remove Support for /page(\d+)/? whilst retaining /page/(\d+)/?
  * Fix canonical to support the /page(\d+)/? links (An additional 2
 {{{?}}}'s)

 'page(\d+)' are not valid slugs in WordPress when using pretty permalinks,
 its not possible to separate the requests.
