[Tex/LaTex] moderncv and page numbers not displaying if text too long

moderncvpage-numbering

I am using the moderncv package with the classic style. I find that the page numbers do not appear if the text on the last page goes all the way to the bottom and is just on the verge of requiring another page.

This is the best minimal example I could develop, which I created by modifying the template that comes with the moderncv package:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
\moderncvstyle{classic}
\moderncvcolor{blue}

\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}

\firstname{John}
\familyname{Doe}
\title{Resume title}
\address{street and number}{postcode city}{country}\mobile{+1~(234)~567~890}
\phone{+2~(345)~678~901}
\fax{+3~(456)~789~012}
\email{john@doe.org}
\homepage{www.johndoe.com}

  \cvcolumn[0.5]{All the rest \& some more}{\textit{That} person, and \textbf{those} also (all available upon request).}
\end{cvcolumns}

\end{document}

Note the line about two-thirds of the way through:

%\cvlistitem{UNCOMMENT THIS LINE OUT AND THE NUMBERS WILL DISAPPEAR.}

I find that if I uncomment this line, then the page numbers disappear. With it commented out, the page numbers appear.

I have the same problem and I can't solve it in the suggested ways. For me, the following hack solved it:

\usepackage{lastpage}

\rfoot{\textit{\small{\thepage/\pageref{LastPage}}}}
