And does it even activate?
More info:
"scriptMinion" is running and is a stay-open application. It does
activate appropriately and come to the front.
Might that be the issue?
Guess not.
What happens if you tell
it to beep without activating?
This script saved as an application WILL make a beep. Of course,
the beep sounds the same as the one I'd get if I asked it to display a
dialog without being frontmost. It would beep to alert me to the hidden
dialog.
tell application "scriptMinion"
ignoring application responses
beep
end ignoring
end tell
This script saved as an application WILL NOT display a dialog. Nor
does it beep.
tell application "scriptMinion"
ignoring application responses
display dialog "Hello"
end ignoring
end tell
This script saved as an application WILL NOT display a dialog. Nor
does it beep, however, it WILL speak 'hello" without any delay or
error.
tell application "scriptMinion"
ignoring application responses
display dialog "Hello"
say "Hello"
end ignoring
end tell
Is AS somehow realizing that the DD will require user interaction
and filtering the AEs that are sent to include only non-UI commands?

I forgot to clarify that "scriptMinion" is just an empty script
saved as an application.

When called from a script in an editor this handler gives me an
asynchronous dialog. When called by a running script It doesn't
display
a dialog at all.
Can anyone tell me why? Removing the ignoring block restores the
dialog.
Thanks for your support.
