This kind of filter fails...

Unfortunately, no application I've checked handles this correctly...

It doesn't fail in _every_ application:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
get every event whose start time = its end time
end tell
--> {event id 2063 of application "Microsoft Entourage"}

has pointed out to me offline that Tex-Edit Plus also gets it right:

tell document 1 of application "Tex-Edit Plus"
get every word whose first character is its last character
end tell
--> {"radar", "bob", "roger"}

It seems there's some hope...
