I don't believe this is a vanilla coercion on any system, Rachel.

My guess is that you had Akua Sweets installed in your previous system. That
allows coercions like this:

"#990099" as RGB color --> {39321, 0, 39321}
10027161 as RGB color --> {39321, 0, 39321}
{39321, 0, 39321} as HTML Color --> "#990099"
10027161 as HTML Color --> "#990099"
"#990099" as Million Color --> 10027161
{39321, 0, 39321} as Million Color --> 10027161

The coercions don't necessarily have to be explicit and can be invoked
automatically, depending on the type of value required (which might explain
some occasional confusion about Akua's presence).

AFAIK, not yet - unless someone else knows different? There may be other
OSAXen for OS X that could help, but I haven't explored this area yet.

Ah yes, I'm afraid 'scripting additions dementia' (SAD) can strike any one
of us at any time! (I sometimes run a helpful little script which checks for
third party OSAXen, enables/disables them as required - and, if necessary,
forces a restart.)
