Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Thanks, @smerriman. I now see what's happening.

 > perhaps if the page being requested is not available, perform another
 query at that point.

 I think this is probably right. `wp_list_comments()` is a bit of a jumble,
 and it would be nice to rethink it at some point so that it's more easily
 maintainable down the line. But for the short term, I'd like to propose
 something like [attachment:35175.diff]. It says: if `wp_list_comments()`
 contains a 'page' param, and 'page' doesn't match the current cpage query
 var, then query for all of the post's comments and let Walker do the
 pagination. This technique misses out on some of the performance wins from
 4.4 for standard comment queries, but it's on a par with 4.3 and earlier,
 and it's far easier to implement for 4.4.1 than a more general overhaul.

 Would you mind having a look and letting me know whether it accomplishes
 what you need it to do? It needs a boatload more unit tests to cover all
 the permutations of 'default_comment_page' etc, but it should give you an
 idea of what I have in mind.
