The Cocoa method that is often used by script runners
(-executeAndReturnError) is broken in Panther, in that it fails to save
properties. Anybody who writes a script runner using the Cocoa frameworks
has to work around this bug with special code (basically, they have to call
OSAStore). But if they aren't aware of the bug, then they won't do it.  Some
script runners get it right (e.g., PreFab UI Actions); others don't.

I don't know that this bug explains what this thread is describing, but I
wouldn't be surprised.
