An easier and less potentially destructive way to fix the problem is
to change the English OS 9 Script Editor's creation date so that it
appears to be the most recent of all the Script Editors present. (The
Finder always chooses the most recent of conflicting applications on
the active partition.) I did this with the Snitch utility and have
had no problems since--although I still see an occasional cosmetic
glitch, such as an alert message reading 'The %1$@"%2$@" wouldn't
compile; you won't be able to save it in compiled form, only as text'
when I tried to save a poorly written script. Since %1$@"%2$@" was an
excellent way of describing the script in question, I don't have a
problem with that.
That's a great idea. I'll keep it in mind if (when) such a situation
comes up again.
To take care of the glitch that you have, remove the foreign-language
Applescript preferences file from the preferences folder.

I'm afraid that didn't do it. I quit Script Editor, deleted the
foreign AppleScript preferences and restarted, then tried to save a
nonsense script and got the same error. I then quit and deleted the
English preferences file and got the same result.
