 Not sure if it's the only place, but on the author.php template, when you
 change the post_type of the loop, WordPress seems to only want to return
 the number of pages it WOULD have had if post_type=post was used.

 Example: On our author.php template, we've changed the loop to use the
 following custom query:
 author=123&post_type=any&post_status=publish&orderby=title&order=ASC&paged=6

 In this case, it's looking for all published pages and posts (any) by the
 author with the ID of 123, and we're looking at page six of the results.
 On our site, this page shows up fine, but when we go to page 7 using the
 standard wordpress next/prev links we get a 404 error, in spite of the
 fact that there are MANY more pages and posts to be displayed.

 If I configure the code to only show posts, it shows 6 pages of results
 which is exactly how many it SHOULD show.

 Therefore, it seems that there is something in the code that detects
 whether or not the page is a 404, which is predisposed to only showing
 posts as opposed to "any".
