Yes -- it hasn't been implemented properly by the application.

The workaround is to avoid the indirect "name of color" and filter
directly by color. Something like this:

tell application "QuarkXPress"
	tell document 1
		set theRed to object reference of color spec "Red"
		set color of every picture box whose color is theRed to "Blue"
	end tell
end tell

Odd, but then life's like that.
