That's a pity.

I know only one poor plain-vanilla workaround:

-----------------------------
set fileType to run script "\"" & fileType & "\""

In case it helps the script working, I would try:

> display dialog "New Creator Code: " buttons "OK" default button 1 default answer "VIZF"

rather than the bizarre creator code that you propose by default.
