You are right, the Limited Access permission is assigned to a user automatically by SharePoint when you give permission to the user to access a specific content item. But the user does not have permission to open or edit any other items in the library.
You cannot assign this permission level to users or SharePoint groups. Instead, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 automatically assigns this permission level to users and SharePoint groups when you grant them access to an object on your site that requires that they have access to a higher level object on which they do not have permissions. For example, if you grant users access to an item in a list and they do not have access to the list itself, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 automatically grants them Limited Access on the list, and also the site, if needed.
So, in order to fix the above issue, you need to give at least "Read" permissions to that user so that they can access the page.
