The numbers do agree - we changed the LaTeX options so that the PDF  
knows the real numbers, which include roman for front matter.  It  
would be wrong to number the pages sequentially from 1, abandoning  
long-established practice with documents.  And at least on a Mac,  
both Preview and Acrobat both display the correct page number and  
will goto that page (including going to "xi").  Before we fixed this,  
those display programs did not know how the pages were numbered, and  
just (incorrectly) counted forward from one.  Now the document meets  
standard page numbering conventions, and the PDF display programs are  
aware of the true page numbers.
