Default Possible Bug: Word does not correctly update page numbers when printing

I have a document with "{PAGE} of {NUMPAGES}" in it. There are no section breaks. When I manually update the fields, they correctly show "1 of 13", "2 of 13", etc. But when I print, Word updates them incorrectly to "1 of 1", "2 of 1", "3 of 1", etc.

This problem appears intermittently and in different forms. Sometimes it says "1 of 1" and then "2 of 2" for every subsequent page. And sometimes they update correctly and sometimes they do not. The document uses many macros, none of which mess with built in printing commands. To check, I created a blank document, inserted a few blank pages with the same field codes and the problem persisted. Has anyone had this problem before?

I think toggling all field codes (alt-F9) and back again fixes the problem but I cannot be sure.
