I believe that the release is sufficient, if all other information matches. The intent to release that mortgage appears clear to me. I always ask myself, who could sue? I don't beleive the lender could argue that the mortgage is enforceable because of the discrepency with a page number indicating page 2, instead of page one. This would be particularly true if the release states that the note has been paid and satisfied, because there would be no debt remaining.
And, technically, I think they are correct to use page 2 - the cover sheet is not a part of the legal document.
Just my humble opinion,
Robert A. Franco
