Same behavior as always. I was just pointing out that the first call is immediate, not after the idle value.

Yes. Same here. It doesn't even need the 'idle' command. I guess it's
implicit: since the main script has absolutely nothing in it, it finishes as
soon as it's launched, so it goes straight to the idle handler anyway and
executes it.

Coming in late on this thread. I laid all this 'idle' handler stuff out
several years ago in one of my Tips at The AppleScript Sourcebook. Are
people finding that things are different now?
