You are right. I tried it and it works just as you said.

I filed this bug because I was not using gscan2pdf to perform the actual scan, but xsane directly then importing the PDF into gscan2pdf. This did not give me the opportunity to number pages as gscan2pdf does with the double-sided option.

So, in my view, your answer is a workaround, which is to scan with gscan2pdf. What I was looking for was a way to renumber pages that were imported. I'll accept a "Won't Fix" resolution :)

As a side note, the reason why I did not try the double-sided option was that the "scanner options" progress bar of the scan dialog stayed there forever. I was unable to use gscan2pdf to scan at all, so I went back to xsane. Today, I tried it again and it worked. I'll file a bug report for that if I'm able to reproduce the behavior. It might simply be that xsane was locking the scanner driver.
