You're absolutely right, of course.
But the situation today is vastly better than it was even two or three years
ago. About five years ago I started collecting and publishing info about
AppleScript bugs. I still do it for each new version of AS, but my job is
easier now because Apple's bug reports are better (and they exist; that was
progress in and of itself).
One of the problems, from Apple's perspective, is that bugs are inevitably
found after the bugs-fixed-and-not-fixed list is released. Apple doesn't
seem to have a formal mechanism in place to update the list that comes out
when the new version is released. I collect what info I can after each AS
release and add it to my reports periodically. But that's very hit-or-miss,
because I don't have time to read every single email message on the lists,
and my own AppleScript work only turns up the occasional bug that hasn't
been reported elsewhere.
What I'm saying is, count your blessings, and hope for even more as time
goes by.
