I have an extension of pgfpages (imaginatively called pgfmorepages) which solves this issue, as well as extending the capabilities somewhat. The code is available at https://github.com/loopspace/pgfmorepages I'd be happy to contribute all or part of it to the PGF code base.

Check for node being coordinate doesn't use name prefix/suffix

node alias doesn't use the prefix and suffix

name prefix is incorrectly set with subpics of pics

\tikz@intersect@namedpaths persists outside scopes
