When using these commands, I typically browse by pages, pausing briefly to
look at each one to see if it's the one that I want; I can easily have
already typed the next C-x during that time, and then C-g if I don't want
to go anywhere.

That's not equivalent; from the 21.3 docs I see
forward-page is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `textmodes/page'.
(forward-page &optional COUNT)
Move forward to page boundary. With arg, repeat, or go back if negative.
A page boundary is any line whose beginning matches the regexp
`page-delimiter'.

As there is no `goto-page', it seems relatively likely to want to do M-<
C-u nnn C-x ]. I'd rather not extend that key sequence farther.
