A member of the Applescript team told me that it's a bug and that it

If they "fix" it such that you can include an element (email 1) in there,
I'll be very impressed. If they "fix" it such that it works exactly as you
presented it - in an AppleScript list and NOT just directly using
application objects - then I will give you a very large present. I frankly
don't believe it.

Well, all I know is that Chris told me that it should work the way I wrote it, and suggested that I write a bug on it. So, I did.

Each item of the list is an application object, so I would think it should work.

However, thinking further upon the matter, I discovered that the following works.

tell application "Address Book"
set label of email 1 of people of group "mailing lists" to "List"
end tell

And that is what I should have used in the first place. I got used to "a of b of c" not working in other applications that I got into the habit of breaking things down and doing them step by step instead of doing them directly.
