It does. It's in the end of Documentation/vm/pagemap.c:
: Other notes:
:
: Reading from any of the files will return -EINVAL if you are not starting
: the read on an 8-byte boundary (e.g., if you sought an odd number of bytes
: into the file), or if the size of the read is not a multiple of 8 bytes.

Yeah, that's how it works. I did it preliminary for /proc/kpagecgroup to
work exactly like /proc/kpageflags and /proc/kpagecount.
FWIW, the man page I have on my system already warns about this
peculiarity of read(2):
: On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. In this
: case, it is left unspecified whether the file position (if any)
: changes.
