Aside from setting creator and file types, are there any other places where this gotcha is likely to strike?

It hit me in GraphicConverter, when I tried to set comments or IPTC info.

And it took me, an AppleScript oldtimer, somewhere between a half hour and an hour to figure out where the problem was -- and it was only Script Debugger which gave me a clue; a person using Script Editor might spend hours and still not figure it out.

Ahhhh, "scripting for the rest of us" at its best.
