Comment (by tommcfarlin):

 I can't reproduce this in any theme that's currently located in trunk. The
 steps I'm following to attempt to reproduce are:

 1. Navigate to a single post (i.e., /hello-word/)

 2. View source to check the canonical value ( reads `<link rel='canonical'
 href='http://localhost/dev/wordpress/trunk/hello-world/' />` )

 3. Append a series of digits after the URL (i.e., /hello-word/1234/)

 4. View source to check the canonical URL ( still reads: `<link
 rel='canonical' href='http://localhost/dev/wordpress/trunk/hello-world/'
 />` )

 I've also tried this with Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven in WordPress 3.4.1
 and the canonical URL still renders appropriately regardless of paged
 value.

 Would like to dig into a bit deeper - what theme were you using when
 seeing this behavior?
