a little puzzled, quark script

I am just a little puzzled by these results.

from quark doc, I create a grid based on variables, the grid consists of
horizontal and vertical guides with specific positions and named...

the doc creates fine, and all items seem to work. but when I do
this....

tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1
tell page 1
get the name of every vertical guide as list
end tell
end tell
end tell

getting the vertical guide names works fine,
--get the name of every vertical guide as list
-->{"VGr1", "VGl2", "VGr2", "VGl3", "VGr3", "VGl4"}

getting the name of horizontal guides seems to mix up quark or applescript
as regards scope.

--get the name of every horizontal guide as list
reesults in
-->{name of every horizontal guide of page 1 of document 1 of page 1 of
document 1 of application "QuarkXPress"}

If an attempt is done to get the POSITION of the horizontal guides it
works just fine.
such as ;
get the position of every horizontal guide as list
--> {"256.95 pt", "262.35 pt"}

can anyone verify this to be the case on their system also?

my mac: running os X 10.2.4, just updated, seems the applescript
extension version in system 9.2.2 folder is 1.83
quarkxpress 5.01
