While I would still be interested to know why any script would change elements to chavrons followed by 'class' foobar where actual working code was before hand, My script now completes syntax checking with out error.
A couple of ways to get into a mess are:
1) When opening the first script which references an application, such as the Finder, AppleScript asks the Finder for its terminologies. If the Finder is busy this can timeout, and you will get <<the chevrons>>. This only happens the first time per script editor session, so reopening the script won't help. You need to quit your script editor and then reopen the script. Preferably while the scripted application isn't busy.
2) Having an incorrect version of the application running. AppleScript will automatically prefer running versions of applications to the one stored in the script. Normally this is a good thing, unless you are running an old version. This is hard to do with the Finder, but easier for other applications.
So, I'd guess the first is what is biting you.
