rocco, would you say that's to do with pagination not be handled carefully (i.e. you end up with duplicate titles/metas/etc) or in *all* cases, pagination is trouble?

Yes, exactly. If you have a large site and cannot handle the metas individually then only allow page 1. The possible risk is too high. I have seen many sites nuked recently (from 2 years till now). These database powered sites used to be gold, but know they are turning into pain.
