Someone from Apple will have to pipe up about this one, but I have noticed that the clipboard is pretty broken in Mac OS X, not only in repect to AppleScript, but also in FileMaker Pro 5.5, Frontier, and probably other apps as well. The clipboard contents seem to stay private to each app, and don't propagate out to the system clipboard.
