I have gotten something similar with a script set to run by cron... in my case, iCal causes the invalid connection error. I still haven't been able to track it down. It never happens during manual execution of the script, and does not always happen when cron executes it. It almost sounds like something delays the quit message, thus causing the next launch command to fail...

The script:

tell application "Finder"
	quit
	log 1
	launch
	log "a"
end tell

First time it's run:

tell application "Finder"
	quit
		current application
	(*1*)
		current application
	(*1*)
	launch
		current application
	(*a*)
end tell

Second time it's run:

tell application "Finder"
	quit
	(*1*)
		current application
		"Finder got an error: Connection is invalid."

Third time duplicates the first, fourth duplicates the second, etc.
