"Problem pages" are probably those columns in magazines or newspapers to which people can write with a problem of some kind, seeking an answer.

... also, if I saw it written as one word (which I would regard as a mistake, although I admit that it may happen sometimes) I would imagine that it was being used adjectivally:

That's the sort of "problem page" logic I'd expect from someone like that.
