Upgrade to 2; it definitely helps. Opens lots of doors, too...

It's a similar problem -- to start with a spread, the first page must be an
even number.
tell application "InDesign 1.5.2"
make document
tell document 1
tell document preferences
set pages per document to 2
set pages per spread to 2
end tell
set properties of section 1 to {page start:page 1, page number start:2}
set applied master of spread 1 to master spread 1
end tell
end tell

Check out the Adobe User to User InDesign Scripting forum. There are also
some samples at macscripter.net. Or ask here, but preferably after you
upgrade to v2.0. Or <shameless plug> come to our course

But that would take all the fun out of it...
