Activities feed for page empty via API, even when activities present

[GoogleCodeExporter]

How does the product behavior differ from your expectations?
-> The activities feed for some pages emits multiple empty pages before 
terminating pagination, ultimately emitting zero items, despite many activities 
being visible in the Google+ web experience
-> I expect activities that can be viewed within Google+ to be present via the 
API.

The following is a list of known affected pages:
+FoxSports (101575363705684459312)
+Madewell (107614121075416860173)
+williamhill (117827651239678849900)

+HotelEdenSRLRoma (116166883185095192400)

Describe, step-by-step, how to reproduce this issue.
-> using +HotelEdenSRLRoma (116166883185095192400) as an example
-> visit https://plus.google.com/u/0/+HotelEdenSRLRoma/posts to validate that 
there are in fact many posts (dozens in the last month)
-> crawl activities for the page via the API and observe that after 4 empty 
pages, pagination terminates

This might be related to issue 1069 but you would have to confirm with the page 
managers their audience settings.
