I suspect the crash is coming from your nil PMPointList in IPlacePIData::Set. Try setting to something other than nil.
For example use the bounds of the page item...
PMPointList pointList(2);
pointList.push_back(topLeft);
pointList.push_back(rightBottom);
placeData->Set(frame, &pointList, kFalse);
I believe these would be bounds int he parent coordinates.
I hope this helps!
