 It's more like this in my case:

 * Static page on front using a page template that lists:
   1. A limited number of custom posts and
   2. A paginated list of native wp blog posts
  (and yes, the page template in the front uses `query_posts()` to retrieve
 the CPT's and the native posts.)

 * Another separate page assigned as the blog posts page
 * `/page/2/` would load the same set of CPT's and the 2nd page of the
 native posts index.

 I'm not sure if I explained it clearly enough, but you can check the site
 here: http://philpropertyexpert.com

 I ended up just rolling back to 4.3.2 for now just to get it working
 again. (4.4 has the same issue.) But before the rollback, `/page/2/` and
 onwards would display the same 1st page of the native posts index.
