Not an error, a design choice.
And in Numbers the choice is more drastic because there is no way to apply a factor which isn't predefined.
In Pages it's really easy to edit it.
I do that for months in my scripts.
Here is a short script doing only that.
--{code}
--[SCRIPT set_Pages_zoom_factor]
(*
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : set_Pages_zoom_factor.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDĂ©marrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Il vous faudra peut-ĂȘtre crĂ©er le dossier Pages et peut-ĂȘtre mĂȘme le dossier Applications.
Ouvrir un document Pages
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Pages puis choisir âset_Pages_zoom_factorâ
Tapez le coefficient de votre choix.
--=====
Lâaide du Finder explique:
LâUtilitaire AppleScript permet dâactiver le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez lâUtilitaire AppleScript situĂ© dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case âAfficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menusâ.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau âGĂ©nĂ©ralâ du dialogue PrĂ©fĂ©rences de lâĂditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case âAfficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menusâ.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: set_Pages_zoom_factor.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Open a Pages document.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Pages, then choose âset_Pages_zoom_factorâ
Enter the wanted zoom factor.
--=====
The Finderâs Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the âShow Script Menu in menu barâ checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editorâs Preferences dialog box
and check the âShow Script menu in menu barâ option.

(1) Don't hope for a major update before 2012.
(2) The resize handle (which no longer exists in Lion) is not dedicated to change the zoom factor but the size of the displayed area.
