We have an option to use the "roman" style if the <pagelist/> definition. In this case I would expect {{{pagenum}}} to be substituted with a Roman number (I, II, III, IV etc).
Is this still an issue (if it ever was)? Seems like this has been the normal behavior (on en.WS) for as long as I can remember now - whatever the type (or character) assigned in the <pagelist /> for a source file's page (or position) is the same when transcluded to the main namespace as well as generated in the Page: namespace when {{{pagenum}}} is an input of the Index: template's header or footer field(s). Maybe this is not Wikisource wide but language-domain specific?

Was fixed long time ago and a unit test have just been added in order to avoid any regressions in the future.
