Comment:

 This is super obnoxious. You need to do 2 things when you want to use
 `page/[0-9]+` in the URL for a CPT:

 {{{
 // filter _wp_link_page() in the most ghetto way possible

 add_filter( 'wp_link_pages_link', function ($link) {
         if ( preg_match( '#whatever/([^/]+)/([0-9]+?)/#', $link, $match )
 ) {
                 $link = str_replace( $match[0],
 "whatever/{$match[1]}/page/{$match[2]}/", $link );
         }
         return $link;
 } );

 // shove your rules in there somehow

 add_filter( 'rewrite_rules_array', function ($rules) {
         $mine = array(
                 'whatever/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+?)/?$' =>
 'index.php?whatever=$matches[1]&page=$matches[2]',
         );

         return array_merge( $mine, $rules );
 } );
 }}}

 Notice, the query var has to be `page`, not `paged` - after that, you can
 at least view the page, but it will redirected from `page/2/` to `2/`

 If someone works through the headache and creates a patch, we can do this
 in 4.0
