In choose file, I'd like to specify a wide range of types. If I say
{"public.plain-text"} I can get a pretty wide range, but not old SimpleText
read-only docs. If I say {"public.plain-text", "ttro"} it doesn't work. If I
say {"TEXT", "ttro"} it does work. From this I conclude that if you try to
mix UTIs and four-letter file types you get your hand slapped. Is this a
bug?

According to the release notes for AppleScript 1.10: "The of type parameter to the choose file command now accepts either a list of file types or a list of type identifiers. [3226364]"
I interpret that as one list or another, rather than a list of mixed types. However, on the basis that a bug can be filed as a feature request... :-)
