FMP 6.0v3, OS X 10.2 and AppleScript -> Broken

I have tested this on 3 machines and it would appear that Mac OS X 10.2, FMP 6.0v3 and AppleScript do not play well together. The problem seems to centre around "count" and can be neatly demonstrated by the simple AppleScript:

tell application "FileMaker Pro" to return count of windows

Using Mac OS X 10.1.x and FMP 6.0v3, this returns the number of open FileMaker databases (windows) as you'd expect. Under Mac OS X 10.2 it throws an error: "FileMaker Pro got an error: Object not found." The reason for pointing the finger at "count" is that a count of anything (fields and databases actually tested) returns the same error.

Perhaps others would confirm or refute this observation?
