My mistake. I'm sorry for posting this message without testing it first.
I only looked at the LISP source file idxstyle.lsp:
      (t (when (eql 'none min-range-length)
                 (setq min-range-length 0))

That lead me to conclude the keyword "none" were equivalent to 0 ! 
But it seems this feature of xindy is _badly_ broken.

For now, I suggest you use
  (define-location-class "arabic-page-numbers" ("arabic-numbers")
  :min-range-length n)

where n is an integer number greater than the total number of pages in your
document. (You have already tried this, haven't you? ;-)
