It looks like this cannot be done in this way, but I think the answer to 
this is to not use a master page for page numbering:

Place a text frame on top of your image in the appropriate position.
Use Story Editor to enter the Page Number character (Insert > Character 
 > Page Number, or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P).
Copy this frame (Edit > Copy, or Right-click > Copy, or Ctrl+C).
Now go to each page you want to add the page number and Edit > Paste, or 
Ctrl+V.
The frame will be in the same position on each page you paste to, and 
the number will vary appropriately. Modify the procedure appropriately 
for Even and Odd page positions, if necessary.

Likely you will want to do this as one of the last steps of making your 
Document.
