Comment (by birgire):

 The problem is that {{{WP::handle_404()}}} is executed long before
 {{{setup_postdata()}}} where the {{{content_pagination}}} filter currently
 lives.

 I don't think we want to remove a restriction in {{{WP::handle_404()}}}
 that makes sure the current page number doesn't exceed the maximum number
 of content pages.

 If we want to keep it, I suggest we try to move the content pagination
 logic (including the {{{content_pagination}}} filter) from the
 {{{setup_postdata()}}} up to the {{{WP::handle_404()}}} method.

 The current content pagination isn't supposed to work for secondary loops
 anyways, as far as I understand it, even though the
 {{{content_pagination}}} filter is available to all loops through
 {{{setup_postdata()}}}.

 To support such a restriction for secondary loops, I think the
 corresponding post ID would need to be part of the GET request.


 ... or do you see any other way  ?
