> Probably not a huge deal, but it does seem the fix will needlessly delete and recreate non-standard pages in the case where the new page needs to be non-standard, and the oldest one (that needs to be pruned) already is non-standard and could be reused.

This is addressed in the blog post.

It is how the PageList has always worked, and also how it worked before with the bug, because during capacity adjustment we would see the wrong size. This shouldn't change any perceived performance.

And as I note in the blog post, there are alternative approaches such as the one you suggested, but we don't have enough empirical data to support changing our viewpoint on that whereas our current viewpoint (standard sizes are common) is well supported by known benchmarks. I'm open to changing my mind here, but I didn't want to change worldviews AND fix the leak in the same go.
