I just experimented a bit with your slightly longer script, and was able
to choose a AIFF file, which told me that its type was "AIFF", so it's not
just missing value or "????".
My guess is that, because all the files that I'm allowed to choose can be
opened by Quicktime, I'm allowed to choose them. It's still a bug though
because the 'of type' parameter is not being honoured properly.
I have reported this now that I know someone else is seeing odd results.
AFAICT this bug only appears when the type is "MooV".
