Pagination is only one way in which a Green OA article may differ from
its version of record.  Other examples:

- incomplete/missing references
- missing charts/figures
- missing/revised content b/n versions due to peer review & editing
- etc.

I'm not saying this is the case with all/most Green OA articles, but
there is certainly the potential for these discrepancies.  So, I think
Sandy is right that some faculty/scholars/researchers will not be
content with a Green OA version.  Green OA relies to some extent on
the depositors (whether researchers or repository admins) to ensure
that the archival version is useful.

The question addresses only one nuance - how to cite a correct page
for reference. But the answer is simple.

When we site an article, its first and last page suffice. No one cites
the intermediate pages in the article (as it is usually done in the
book). Sometimes an equation is quoted by its number and not by the
page it is on.

So if the first and last pages are available it is enough for all purposes.
