In previous versions, if you changed the page size on a non-facing page document, ID would add (or subtract, depending) equal amounts to both left and right sides of the page. For facing pages, it would act like Quark and always add or subtract from the right side.

These days, in CS6, I see no real rhyme or reason to how ID determines where to add/subtract from the page size. I just had a 1-page, non-facing document and I resized the width and it added to the left side. Other times it adds to both sides equally. Same with facing pages - sometimes it does one or the other.

Is there a trick I'm missing to control this?

I always thought it had to do with where you're positioned on the proxy box. (is that what it's called?)

That's if you're resizing an element, not the whole page. I had the same thought, but experimentation proved otherwise.

Just starting a new letter size one page non facing document and resizing it yields symmetry for me, could you post an example file?

Same here. In fact I tried to make it do something else and can't.

Figured it out. It appears to occur when a document that started out as facing pages is later changed to non-facing, but still exhibits a 2-page master spread.

Is it an Easter egg that jumps out of the screen if you hit some odd key combo?

oh... a Rocket pony. I thought that said pocket pony, and had some disturbing images pop into my head. Carry on.

(This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"
