is there any chance we can get a "container of path to me" (e.g., "cp2m") without asking the Finder for it? AFAIC, path to me always requires cumbersome additional string processing, since in 99.99% of cases, what I really want to know is the path to the enclosing folder.

Sorry, but no. It's certainly not there now, and I have no intention of adding it, because the proper solution is to make AppleScript understand files better, not to add a new selector to "path to".
