If the area dialog is called from a shape and you add a gradient, then this
gradient is stored in "standard.sog" in user/config and is available in all
other places. There is no reason, why the very same dialog behaves different in
case it is called from a page.

I thought it has been one of the goals of the new dialog, that you no longer
need to create a dummy shape to add a gradient before you can use it as page
background.

It is a bad user experience, if the dialog promises a feature, which it doesn't
hold. So for me it is a bug.

Besides that, the gradient which has been defined in the situation of page
background and which is applied as background, is no longer available, if you
save and reopen the document. So it is not possible to alter an already
existing background gradient, for example change the angle or center or
gradient steps.
