The same statement *can* still work when run from Script Menu - but

Mail) are already frontmost when the script is selected. (These
somewhat curious exceptions may be responsible for some of the
differing reports when running such scripts from SM.) An explicit
activate/frontmost command would be required to work around these
anomalies.
As a cross-check, the behaviour when running from FastScripts is
slightly different again. The statement works, even if the target
app is frontmost - but still fails when Finder is at the front.
(Might this be a Cocoa thing?)
And yes, I'll willingly file a bug on all this - unless anyone
else's experience differs substantially... :-)

kai, I did not see the ed of the message. Now I just run some tests
and that is what I found
Indeed

click menu item "New Viewer Window" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File"
of menu bar 1 of process "Mail"

When run from SM if Mail is the fron app it will not work. If,
however, the front app is Finder, some strange happens. The script
runs and I noticed some disk activity, nothing seems to happen. But
if I click on the windows menu of the Mail app (brought to the front)
the new window shows up. so the process happens but it is suspended
somehow.
I found it very strange!
