Perhaps you could just keep a per page count of the number of \pause commands? This is easy to add in tex with a counter. It will not always do the right thing (see below), but it should get most cases correct.
some text \pause more text \pauselevel{=1}\pause will fool the counter method into thinking that there are mutliple builds of this page.
