You can work around the bug by just doing a find, then looping through the
results, changing the color one at a time. It'll be a fraction slower, but
should do the trick:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
    set find text preferences to nothing
    set properties of find text preferences to {applied paragraph style:"The
name"}
    set theFinds to find text document 1
    repeat with i from 1 to count of theFinds
        set properties of item i of theFinds to {fill color:"Replace color"}
    end repeat
end tell

The bug is fixed in CS4, BTW.
