Can you report that exception on mantisbt.org/bugs/ ?

This bug will be fixed in the upcoming 1.2.6 release.

12991: mc_filter_get_issues returns incorrect results for page_number

http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=12991

If you need to find out the last page, I suggest you perform a check
on your side. The safest should be remembering the bug id you received
on index 0. If you get the same bug in two consecutive calls, you've
reached the end. Not ideal, but will be fixed in the next release.

There's a feature request for that

8656: please provide function that return issue count of current filter
http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=8656

But no one has stepped up to implement it yet.

Good point. I'll have this added to that page.
