Comment:

 I'd like to reopen this one, as I've helped two people with a fix on this
 issue in two days.

 This issue has been discussed in a few forums, with use cases in each:

 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-type-singular-page-with-
 pagination?replies=5
 http://www.wptavern.com/forum/bbpress/1710-bbpress-alternative-
 wordpress.html

 The main use case is a custom post type that requires pagination on the
 single page.
 This could be used for a few reasons I could imagine:
 1. If you have a static photo gallery post type that has so many photos
 you want to split it onto two pages without any javascript
 2. A forum that would have tons of threads, which would require pagination

 In both of these scenarios developers use the 'redirect_canonical' filter
 to turn off canonical redirects on the singular post. However, perhaps we
 can build this into core? I could imagine many developers being thrown for
 a loop trying to debug this issue, never even tracking it down to
 canonical redirects.
