I'm having the same sort of problems and only way I've found so far is to resize the textframes after the fact. Sorry if it looks messy, I'm translating from another programming style. I haven't found a direct way to use the masterpages.

docs = InDesign.Documents
doc = docs.Add
pages = doc.pages
page = pages.Item(1)
mpref = page.MarginPreferences
mpref.MarginTop = 1
tfs = page.Textframes
tf = tfs.Add
tf.GeometricBounds Array(1, .5,10.5,8)
tfpref = tf.TextFramePreferences
tfpref.MarginTop = 1
tfpref.TextColumnCount = 2
tf.Place("c:\my documents\tagged text.TXT","","",1,1,0,0)

pgs = pages.Count
for ind :in pgs
  page = pages.Item(ind)
  tfs = page.Textframes
  tf = tfs.Item(1)
  tf.GeometricBounds Array(1,.5,10.5,8)
  tfp = tf.TextFramePreferences
  tfp.TextColumnCount = 2
endfor

My problem is that the PLACE loses all character and paragraphs styles!!
