In JS, pageReferences.add appears to be confused by tables. Using the following routine to add page references to all occurrences of the first topic in the index ("s" is a topic to be searched):

f = _story.search( s , false , false , undefined )
for( i = f.length-1 ; i > -1 ; i-- )
   {
   _offset = f[i].insertionPoints[0].index;
   doc.indexes[0].topics[0].pageReferences.add( _story , _offset , PageReferenceType.currentPage);
   }

then page references will be placed correctly at all references before the first table in the story, but after the first table the references are placed two or three (sometimes four) words earlier. This could be a problem when you add a page reference at the first word of a page: the reference will then be on the previous page.

The problem is not the offset: when you add the following line:

_story.characters.itemByRange( _offset, _offset+9 ).appliedCharacterStyle="Red";

(assuming a character style that paints stuff red), you can see that the style is applied to the correct part of the text.

The problem can be circumvented by placing tables in separate frames, either as inlines or completely separately.
