The bug is in geometry, if option showframe or showcrop are used.
Then geometry redefines shipout in \AtBeginDocument, but saves
the \shipout at package loading time. Thus each redefining of
\shipout is lost in between.

Workaround:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\makeatletter
\AtBeginDocument{\let\Gm at shipout\shipout}% right before geometry
\makeatother
\usepackage[showframe]{geometry}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
p1\newpage p2\newpage p3\newpage
\hyperlink{page.1}{1}/\hyperlink{page.2}{2}/\hyperlink{page.3}{3}/
\end{document}

Package geometry should at least move and copy the line
  \let\Gm at hipout\shipout
right before each
  \renewcommand*{\shipout}{...}%

Also the way geometry redefines \shipout can be improved,
see package atbegshi "2 Method of \shipout overloading".
