Are all the frames generated from one master page, or do you have a
pair of left-right masters? If the latter, are you quite sure both
page number frames are identical? If they are, then the number itself
must be implicated. You could check that by changing the "start at"
page number so the odd pages become even etc. However it means
bothering your printer, since he is the only one who can test it.

Have you looked at it with GView? I don't expect it to see any
difference, but...

There could be a difference I suppose.
What happens if he sends the PDF back to you - does the fill show up
using either Adobe reader or Gview? If so, he's altering the PDF in
some way before seeing the problem.
