They're not properties, they're elements. Just make them 'at' the person, pr
tell the person to make them him/herself, with the added Cocoa oddity of
having to make them at the 'beginning' or 'end' of all such elements:

tell application "Address Book"
set newPerson to make new person with properties {first name: "Steve",
last name: "Jobs"}
tell newPerson to make new email at end of emails with properties
{label:"home", value:"email@hidden"}
save addressbook
end

(Mustn't forget to 'save addressbook' at the end, or periodically, or it can
all go up in a puff of smoke.
