Mac OS 9.1 Standard Additions OSAX

I've found what may be a bug with the Standard Additions OSAX (version
1.5.5) that ships with Mac OS 9.1. This may be down to my installation but
I'm not sure how.

Any existing script that uses Standard Additions will only show the raw
Apple Event code e.g:

on <<event facofget>> this_folder given <<class flst>>:added_items

Should read as (folder actions):

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items

And:

set diskList to <<event earslvol>>

Should read as:

set diskList to list disks

And:

<<event sysodlog>> "Have you checked the file(s)?" given <<class
disp>>:<<constant stic>>, <<class btns>>:{"No", "Yes"}, <<class dflt>>:2
if <<class bhit>> of result = "No" then return

Should read as:

display dialog "Have you checked the file(s)?" with icon caution buttons
{"No", "Yes"} default button 2
if button returned of result = "No" then return


Any new script I try to write that uses Standard Additions refuses to
compile.

I've installed 9.1 on my own dual 450 G4 and all's fine, there's no problem
with Standard Additions. However, I'm having problems with an iMac I'm
setting up a server. The script the two snippets are taken from was working
fine before I installed 9.1 and if a replace version 1.5.5 Standard
Additions with version 1.4.2 the script recompiles and runs perfectly.

Does any know what may be going on here?

TIA
