Let me use an example (from the web):

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels,pagebackref]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
Hello World (frontmatter): \cite{a}
\mainmatter
Hello World (mainmatter): \cite{a}
\chapter{Chapter}
\cite{a}

\begin{thebibliography}{999}
\bibitem{a} Foo bar

\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

When using the acrobat reader, you should see the page number displayed in
roman numerals for the first 2 pages in the status line: "ii (2 of 7)"

I'm neither know PDF nor TeX very well, but maybe a look in the hyperref
package would help?

Thank you.
Modifying texinfo.tex solved this issue. I removed most(all?) pageno
modifications.
