The overriding still can be. Try something like this:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
    tell document 1
        set overriddenItems to override master page items of page 1
destination page page 1
        -- deal with reversed stacking order
        -- need subroutine to get around terminology clash
        set overriddenItems to my doReverse(overriddenItems)
        bring to front overriddenItems
    end tell
end tell

on doReverse(x)
    return reverse of x
end doReverse
