is this a bug?

Hi,

Compare the following under X.1.5:

set theString to "12345678"
theString's character 9
--> Error: Can't get character 9 of "12345678".


set theString to "12345678"
theString's character 9 is in "1234567890"
--> Error: Can't make character 9 of "12345678" into a string.

Anyone care to confirm the second case? Looks like a recent bug to me - I
certainly don't recall ever having this problem before - if so, is it a
known one? Should I give up trying to write clean, minimal code on the
assumption that AS actually knows what the heck it's doing, and strew
explicit 'get's all over the place? Hmph.

Frustratedly,

has
