Actually, you *can* set the view to a page (provided there's something on
it):

display dialog "Which page would you like the selected items to move to?"
default answer ""
set mypage to text returned of result as integer
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
    set theItem to selection
    move theItem to page mypage of document 1
    set active spread of window 1 to parent of page mypage of document 1
    select theItem
    zoom window 1 given zoom out
    zoom window 1 given zoom in
end tell

When you select a page item and zoom out then in, ID tries to centre the
item in the window.
