One of the Applescript team members may have a more accurate answer,
but having struggled with a similar problem myself, it was explained
(in my case) to be a deficiency of Script Editor and its ability to
handle multiple scripts/languages at a time. You could confirm this by
trying Script Debugger or Smile to see if the problem is reproducible
there.

This contains a new Script Editor.

I have found a problem with scripting Mail 1.2.3 (v551) with mailbox
names that contain non-ascii characters. It may be related to

osxmailhasproblemwithger.txt but it's not exactly the same.
I have some mailboxes set up in the following way:
2003
02 Februar
03 Mdrz
where the "d" in Mdrz is a german a with umlaut (that will probably be
destroyed by the list server, as far as I know it)
I can address the Februar mailbox as both 'mailbox "02 Februar"' and
'mailbox "2003/02 Februar"', but 'mailbox "2003/03 Mdrz"' returns
nothing. 'mailbox "03 Mdrz"' however works as expected.
Running
tell application "Mail"
mailbox "02 Februar"
mailbox "03 Mdrz"
mailbox "2003/02 Februar"
mailbox "2003/03 Mdrz"
end tell
in Script Editor generates the following event log:
tell application "Mail"
get mailbox "02 Februar"
mailbox "2003/02 Februar"
get mailbox "03 Mdrz"
mailbox "2003/03 Mdrz"
get mailbox "2003/02 Februar"
mailbox "2003/02 Februar"
get mailbox "2003/03 Mdrz"
end tell
I have tried using the names 'as unicode text' but that didn't change
anything.
