This is actually kind of related to a WordPress bug I think, because permalink paginations arent behaving when you have category in there…
What exactly is your permalink structure?
Did it ever work?

Our permalink structure is
/%category%/%postname%/
The problem was that someone accidentally forgot to set a category.
So the url which was generated was /uncategorized/some-post-slug/
After the correct category was set and the post updated, I guess the plugin purged /some-category/some-post-slug/ … So varnish kept serving the original page on /uncategorized/some-post-slug/
So varnish kept serving the original page on /uncategorized/some-post-slug/
Now that’s … actually understandable. And I’m not sure I could fix that since WP isn’t always smart enough to know. The old page would (eventually) vanish – maybe in 24-48 hours, depending on how you set up your cache.
But the page content for somepage/some-post that works fine and updates properly?
