If the pager's position was saved off-screen, it would restore there, thus making it inaccessible.

My workaround is simple I run into this a lot with various programs.
Click the byond icon so that the pager is in your task bar.
Right click the Byond in the taskbar.
Click restore
Right click it again and click move
Your mouse will jump into a position that can drag the window
Hold left click and drag that window back onto your screen for a job well done. :D
