It's broken on any system that doesn't have Jon's Commands installed. ;-)
Not by my tests, which I have just done again with Jon's Commands removed,
again on 8.1, 8.6, 9.1, 9.2.2, and 10.1.5 (and BTW, does *anyone* not use

path of the Applescript applet. Maybe something else is at work on your
system(s)?
