The variation system failed to pair /Pages/Default.aspx because their Content Types do not match
Source: Microsoft Support
RAPID PUBLISHING ARTICLES PROVIDE INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM WITHIN THE MICROSOFT SUPPORT ORGANIZATION. THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO EMERGING OR UNIQUE TOPICS, OR IS INTENDED SUPPLEMENT OTHER KNOWLEDGE BASE INFORMATION.
After creating a variation hierarchy the following error is observed.
The variation system failed to pair pages
http://Server/en-US/web/Pages/default.aspx
(http://Server/en-US/web/Pages/default.aspx)
and /ja-JP/web/Pages/default.aspx because their Content Types do not match.
This error message is observed if the content type of any webs default.aspx page has been altered from the default content.
Any planned changes to default.aspx content type should be done by creating a custom site definition which will create default.aspx with the desired content type.
If the above step has not been done, the issue can be corrected with the following steps:
- Change the welcome page of the destination web from default.aspx to another page.
- Delete default.aspx on the destination label.
- Navigate to the equivalent of source label site and check out then in default.aspx (the variation system will recreate the page on the new label with content on the next pass.)
- When the page is recreated. Change the welcome page on the destination label back to default.aspx.
- Repeat for next site.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
