I've experienced several instances where Mac OS X becomes confused about
ownership of documents. Twice, my system has suddenly started trying to open
StuffIt archives with an AppleScript applet (I forget which) instead of
StuffIt Expander as I had set it.

I wonder if your experience is just another symptom of whatever this
underlying problem is. Does the Finder "Show Info" think that Script
Debugger documents should be opened by AEServer?
