That's incorrect - no a bug, at least not as you described. If you're following the standard method to add the page number by implementing page events, you can try something like this:

public override void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document) {
  Rectangle page = document.PageSize;
  ColumnText.ShowTextAligned(
    writer.DirectContent, Element.ALIGN_CENTER,
    new Phrase(string.Format("{0} {1}", HeaderText, document.PageNumber)),
/* x write coordinate => center */
    (page.Left + page.Right) / 2,
/* y write coordinate => top */
    page.Height - document.TopMargin,
    0
  );
}

And you'll see PdfDocument produces the expected results. (where 'HeaderText' above is the header string)
