Ah, OK.

Maybe, although more often than not I coerce explicitly. It certainly works
still outside of any tell block. So you're saying it doesn't work inside a
Safari tell block? Hmmm. This works fine here:

tell application "Safari"
0 + "1"
end tell
--> 1

I'll have to re-read the thread and see what I'm missing. (My Safari is
v1.1.1)
