Front Page Pagination variable "page" missing in global "$wp_query" object wordpress v4.4.1

I am a theme developer working on

​http://themeforest.net/item/realty-unique-real-estate-wordpress-theme/8583309

As lead developer.
I updated my wordpress to v4.4.1 and this bug came in front of me. It was not there before this update.
The issue is only on front page, not internal pages.

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

See also #35344, which deals with pagination on the front page too. Maybe it's even the same issue.

Hi Swissspidy

Thank you for your quick response, very much appreciated.
I have taken a look into the ticket you have mentioned, yes the ticket is almost describers the same issue except i did not get 404. the page was refreshed ans stayed on same page on redirect.
But the fix provided by "pento" here

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/35344/35344.diff#L5011

It did work for me.

I hope you people will fix the issue in upcoming update.

Thanks
