It came to my attention that when I would run either of the

This is deliberate. It has always been so.
Yep. Go ahead and file a bug asking for a "don't create" parameter
of some sort, if you like.
Who? What?? What bug?
Sorry, I'm being loose in my usage of "bug" again. [1] My point was
that it would be possible to add an optional "don't create" parameter
to "path to"; if there's a desire for such a thing, someone should file
a bug (in the sense of "feature request").
If 'path to "asup"' didn't create the folder (since at least OS 7.6) I
can see quite a lot of things breaking.
Quite -- in fact, this happened in AppleScript 1.7, and a lot of
scripts *did* break.

[1] Bugs and feature requests both go into the same basic database, so
collectively, they get called "bugs". Yes, they're tagged so that we
can tell them apart.
