I know what you're experiencing.
This is how I managed to "kick" the UI script into action, so the menu items respond. It's ugly, but...
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Safari"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item "View"
tell menu "View"
tell menu item "View Source"
click
end tell
end tell
tell application "Safari" to activate
click
end tell
click
--click
end tell
set bounds of window 1 of application "Safari" to {512, 22, 1022, 728}
try
set bounds of window 2 of application "Safari" to {0, 22, 511, 728}
on error
tell application "System Events" to click menu item "View" of menu bar 1 of application process "Safari"
end try
end tell
end tell

An example would be helpful. What application? Post your script.
