@moewe Thanks for your comment! I believe I know what happens with thepagecounter, how paragraphs and pages are broken, etc. (read the TeXbook 'till chapter 27). From reading theperpagemanual, I expected that after two passes,theabspagewould be up-to-date, but I'm not sure I really understand its textual definition from theperpagemanual (it mentionspage, what's that? A typo, I guess). So, maybe I just don't understand the purpose oftheabspage, after all. That was the question. :)

no you can't use theabspage like this, and the perpage package is for other counters, e.g. to get footnote references by pages.

If you want to call this negative page numbers, then yes. It is not that unusual for people to want to reset their page numbers at certain points, so a robust and truly unique counter likeabspagecan be useful. This is especially useful for other objects where it is much more common to reset counters (like footnote counters per chapter or the like) particularly in the context of theperpagepackage, which resets all kinds of things per page.

You can get the absolute page number e.g. with the zref package:
documentclassarticle
usepackagelipsum
usepackagezref-user,zref-abspage
begindocument
lipsum[1-5]
lipsum[6][2]
Page~zlabelAzref[abspage]A, zlabelBzref[abspage]B, zlabelCzref[abspage]C, zlabelDzref[abspage]D, zlabelEzref[abspage]E.
