Comment (by georgestephanis):

 Yeah, by default

 http://mysite/mycat/page/2

 would evaluate with the `/%category%/%postname%/` structure to look for a
 post with a slug of `page` in a category of `mycat` -- I think ideal on
 this would be to hardcode an exception for postname=page so that it can
 never be a slug, and will always skip that rule and evaluate down to the
 second rule.

 Just to confirm this -- try changing your permalink structure to
 /%category%/%post_id%-%postname%/ and see if it still catches page as a
 404
