Yeah, something is off there. I tried fooling around with it and got odd results when I went to do the "set password" line. I then tried the "Change SMTP Server" script in the "Mail Scripts" collection of scripts: <http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html>
and got the same problems.

On the "Mail Scripts" website they had this to say:
"Panther (MacOS X 10.3) Compatibility Note: Due to some AppleScript changes made in Panther, Mail Scripts currently are not fully compatible with system version 10.3 and higher."

So I would guess that this is one of the things changed that no longer works as expected.

Can anyone tell me why the following fails in Panther (and, how to implement this properly so that it actually does work?). If I remember right, it worked as intended in 10.2.x...

tell application "Mail"
set theServer to make new smtp server at end of smtp servers with properties {server name:"test2"}
tell theServer
set authentication to password
set user name to "hello"
set password to "1234"
end tell
end tell

The Apple-supplied example script "Create New Mail Account" uses the same construct (and fails as well...)
