I think the first three variations don't work because they just don't
contain any valid filter reference forms.
Let's consider the first one; it may be viewed as:
<property> of <object> whose <boolean>
In this case, the "<property> of <object>" part is "entire contents of
f", which yields another object (that may be viewed as some kind of
container - one that comes with every container); the end result is
thus equivalent to asking for:
<anobject> whose <boolean> [1]
If "entire contents of" returns a property, that's true. Here is an
interesting dichotomy:
tell application "Finder"
class of (entire contents of (choose folder))
class of foo
end tell
--> list of the classes of each item
tell application "Finder"
set foo to (entire contents of (choose folder))
class of foo
end tell
--> list
