New description:

 Following [34496] canonical URLs of paginated posts with ugly permalinks
 are incorrect.

 Page `http://example.com/?p=1&page=2`
 Canonical meta tag: `<link rel="canonical"
 href="http://example.com/?p=1/2" />`.

 Going the canonical URL loads the first page.

 Note: title updated to reference meta tag
