Instead of throwing an error, it created a file.
--> document file "7T r" of folder "Desktop" of folder "michelle" of
folder "Users" of startup disk of application "Finder"
The file name in the result is a dot, a capital O with a circumflex,
a capital Y with an umlaut, and a lower-case r.
On the desktop, it's two Chinese characters (Kanji or Hanja,
depending on whether you name them in Japanese or Korean).
Confirmed in OS X 10.2.8. I ran into this recently when debugging
someone else's script. It was the same scenario (omitted "text
returned of") with the same result (file name in foreign characters).
