Sorry to say that I can't take time today to explore your question further.
However, I will suggest changing a preference setting that *may* have a
dramatic effect on your ability to arrange pages into three-page spreads.
Here's the code to change the setting:
tell application "InDesign CS"
tell document 1
set allow page shuffle of document preferences to false
end tell
end tell
The InDesign CS dictionary says:
allow page shuffle boolean -- If false then adding a page to a
spread always adds it to that spread. If true a page can be
shuffled to a different spread.
Shuffling, in this case, is something InDesign does based on it's own rules,
not yours. It's untested, but might be worth a try.
