This typically happens when AppleScript does not get a response to the Get Terminology event that it sends to applications the first time it encounters them in a tell block. Since it caches this information, if the first event fails, typically because the application is already doing something lengthy and simply doesn't answer in time, then it is cached as failing, and there is no terminology.
Another popular way to get in this situation is to choose the wrong application when AppleScript asks you to find an application, but that doesn't sound applicable in this case and anyhow, that changes the name in the tell statement.
So, I'm guessing that the Get Terminology event fails.
