Weird syntax error - and weird way to get around it. Should I be coding this differently?

I think so. "with transaction" looks wrong -- shouldn't it be "begin transaction"?

Close. This is from the AppleScript Reference for FMP:

Most users will probably not need to use this feature. But in a group setting, where multiple users may have multiple transactions going simultaneously, and each one expects the database to be in a certain state, it can be a useful event.

Examples
For AppleScript users:

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
set i to 1
with transaction
repeat with i from 1 to the number of records in database 1
set cell 1 of record i of database 1 to i
end repeat
end transaction
end tell

Note: After compiling this script, the "end" statement following "end repeat" will become "end transaction". The script will be functional in this form, but before the script will successfully recompile after any additional edits, the word "transaction" must be deleted.
