Hi Michelle,
I'm not sure why it's doing that (it did the same on my machine too).
I added 'as string' to the end of it and it seemed to work.
-------------------------------
set foo to (choose file)
tell application "Finder" to set foo_name to (foo's name) as string
foo_name's text items
-------------------------------
--> {"t", "e", "s", "t", ".", "p", "d", "f"}

The first text item is replaced by two null characters.
