I agree. The current GWT pagination seems to be more of a workaround.
They try to avoid having less items on the last page because it might
change the layout and the pager position.

What should actually happen is that the table should maintain the full
height as if it has all the rows, but display only the few remaining
rows on the last page.

Basically, the table should have the same height regardless of the
number of rows and the pager component should remain in place when
switching pages.

I'm surprised there isn't an actual bugreport for this.
