17778,get_comment_pages_count() returns > 1 when pagination is disabled,dd32,,"If pagination is disabled, get_comment_pages_count() will still return the number of pages possible if pagination was enabled.

As a workaround, themes & TwentyEleven are having to get to see if pagination is enabled first:
{{{
<?php if ( get_comment_pages_count() > 1 && get_option( 'page_comments' ) ) : // are there comments to navigate through ?>
}}}

I'd suggest that if comment pagination is not enabled, this function should return 0 or 1 (0 = no comments, 1 = 1 page).

The addition of an extra block after the [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/comment.php#L740 empty comments check] would be:
{{{
if ( ! get_option('page_comments') )
	return 1;
