There's a spot property called "color type" that seems to have been left
out in CS's dictionary. Try this:
tell application "Illustrator CS"
tell document 1
make swatch at beginning with properties {color:{class:CMYK color info,
cyan:100, magenta:10, yellow:0, black:0}, name:"Some blue"}
make spot at beginning with properties {color:{class:CMYK color info,
cyan:10, magenta:100, yellow:0, black:0}, name:"Some spot", color type:
spot color}
make spot at beginning with properties {color:{class:CMYK color info,
cyan:10, magenta:10, yellow:100, black:0}, name:"Global process color",
color type:process color}
end tell
end tell
