Vertical ruler only shows up in Page Layout mode. File-->Convert to Page Layout.
I guess they went back to the Page Layout/Word Processing model in 5.1
It worked fine with centimeters as ruler unit.

I think Pages 5.1 might be autosaving unnamed documents that haven't been saved.
I shut down overnight and I am fairly sure I didn't save my sample above, but that reopened this morning, as unnamed.
Maybe I didn't remember right. I'll retest.

My "discovery" of Pages compound shapes with holes, isn't new to Pages 5.1.
I am in the Apple Store and it works in Pages 5.01
I just hadn't thought of it before.

It's coming along. Really wish they'd get us back the ability to do different layout sections on a page in a document.
I never used Lion, but autosave worked on unsaved documents in Mountain Lion.

Actually, not true. Once enabled in Pages Preferences, it's visible anytime the ruler is selected.
This is not the Layout Mode view:
