If I remember correctly, historically dialogs under Mac OS used to use
the format "^0" to represent dynamic text content. In other works,
when you were building a dialog for a program you would set any text
that you wanted the program to be able to modify with a ^ and a number.
Then when you were accessing the dialog through the program you could
run the command ParamText to modify up to four of those constructions
(^0, ^1, ^2, ^3).
For example, you would build this into text in a dialog box:
"I want ^0 to go to the store"
You would then call:
ParamText("Bob, "", "", "");
Which would cause the text in the dialog to display as:
"I want Bill to go to the store"
So it looks like you are running into this problem due to an old
feature. I believe that this method is still used for Carbon and for
all I know it may be used behind the scenes in Cocoa also.
You can read more about it here:

display dialog "^0^1^2^3"

wondering if display dialog supports a hidden "paramtext" parameter?
