This function returns true on success but setting the iterator to an invalid index throws an exception instead of returning false:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ImagickException' with message 'Unable to set iterator index'

This can happen when counting images inside a gif file, because the iterator count starts at zero and not one. If you count the number of images in a gif file be sure to use iterator 0 for the first image, like this:

<?php
$image
= new Imagick('simple.gif');
$image->setIteratorIndex(0);
?>
