How to add a category to Magento via Setup script?

I really can add a category through a setup script, thing for some reason some of the fields are not set properly. Here is my code

$this->startSetup();
Mage::register('isSecureArea', 1);

$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
$category->setPath('1/2') // set parent to be root category
    ->setName('Category Name')
    ->setUrlKey('category-name')
    ->setIsActive(0)
    ->setIncludeInMenu(1)
    ->setInfinitescroll(1)
    ->setDisplayMode('PAGE')
    ->setLandingPage($idToCmsBlock)
    ->setPageLayout('anotherLayoutThanDefault')
    ->setCustomUseParentSettings(0)
    ->setCustomLayoutUpdate('<reference name="head"><action method="addCss"><stylesheet>css/somecss.css</stylesheet></action></reference>')
->save();
$this->endSetup();

After running this script, I have a category created with all my value set in the EAV table. However, Flat Table will be missing displayMode, landingPage, pageLayout, customLayoutUpdate, even if I re-index the flat table.

The strange thing is that if I go to the admin, I can see all these fields correctly, but if I go to my interface, most of these fields will be ignored. I need to go to the administrator, disable these values ​​and reset for each of them so that they work correctly.

, setEnabled (1), "" admin, .

PS: Flat Category, , , , .

I created several categories using the installer script.

<?php
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();

Mage::register('isSecureArea', 1);

$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
$category->setPath('1/2/4') // set parent to be root category
->setName('CAT NAME') //Category Name
->setIsActive(1) // Category Status
->setIncludeInMenu(1) // Show in Menu
->setIsAnchor(1) // used for Layered navigation
->setDisplayMode('PAGE') //  Product Only
->setPageLayout('one_column') // Page layout
->save();

$installer->endSetup();
