Picture boxes (or any box) do not "belong" to a page unless they are on the page in question. If you can reference them outside of the "tell page ..." block, you can set their contents.

        tell application "QuarkXPress"
                tell document 1
                        -- this will work for a box off the page
                        set image 1 of picture box someIndex to someFilePath
                        tell page somePage
                        -- this will only work for "Page Items" or items on a page
                        set image 1 of picture box someIndex to someFilePath
                        end tell
                end tell
        end tell

This is not wrong behavior. You can't tell the page to act on an item that is not part of it.

As an aside, I don't think they will print if they are not on a page. Quark does not see them, even in bleed, unless they actually have a portion on the page.
