I should have seen that the lack of parens around a 'count' would

That should really have been:
That is funny, I thought I did change that but may be I did not.
Actually, I thought I had a number returning with 0.0+(character 2 of
"9").
But now, I do not get the same thing.
The bug has a bug!
You said it, deivy. How's the wording on that bug report coming along?
;-)
I am actually registering in English 400. I hope I'll be able to report
it after I finish it.
You want weird? I said earlier that "there seems to be a couple of
ways to change the result". What I hadn't considered was the
possibility of getting away with a real as an item number:
0 * (item 0.123456789 of "9")
--> 1.111111101
You know what, I get the same number...
set lista to {}
set n to "0."
repeat with j from 1 to 9
set n to ("" & n & j) * 1
set end of lista to {n, " ", (1 * (item n of "9"))}
end repeat
lista
-->{{0.1, " ", 0.9}, {0.12, " ", 1.08}, {0.123, " ", 1.107},
{0.1234, " ", 1.1106}, {0.12345, " ", 1.11105}, {0.123456, " ",
1.111104}, {0.1234567, " ", 1.1111103}, {0.12345678, " ",
1.11111102}, {0.123456789, " ", 1.111111101}}

So far, it seems that the bug affects statements in the form:

Nigel,
May be you are right but there is still a problem:
a. (character 5 of "q") --> error: "Can't get character 5 of \"q\"."
b. 1 * (character 5 of "q") --> "Can't make \"q\" into a number."
c. 1.0 * (character 5 of "q") --> "Can't make character 5 of \"q\"
into a number."
(a) is what I'd expect.
Now, (b) and (c) I hope to have an answer after I finish my English
course.
