text items of foo_name
--> {"", "", "d", "v", "a", "n", "c", "e", " ", "a", "n", "d", " ",
"R", "e", "t", "r", "e", "a", "t"}

The first text item is replaced by two null characters.

But
set foo_name to "Advance and Retreat"
text items of foo_name
--> {"A", "d", "v", "a", "n", "c", "e", " ", "a", "n", "d", " ", "R",
"e", "t", "r", "e", "a", "t"}

You just HAD to mention that, didn't you? The very next thing that I began testing in preparation of the next release of Hangman was saving/closing lists and that uses Unicode texts and seems to be exhibiting the EXACT same behavior, and it's rather annoying. I think this was either changed in 10.2.3 or the Dev Tools update, not sure which one. It seems to be unpredictable too, I'm having a very hard time figuring a way around it.
