The installation notes for 10.4.2 update note that there is a

Standard Additions 1.10.1 for Mac OS X - Release Notes
Standard Additions 1.10.1 for Mac OS X is included with Mac OS X
version 10.4.2 and requires Mac OS X version 10.4 or later. It
contains changes to the do shell script command. Note that only
Standard Additions has changed in this release, the AppleScript
runtime has not changed and its version number remains 1.10.
Bug Fixes
Standard Additions
do shell script ... with administrator privileges now sets both the
real and effective user ids of the script to 0. This matches the
behavior in Mac OS X version 10.3.x, and corrects a number of
permission troubles in Mac OS X versions 10.4.0 and 10.4.1. [4126949]
Using sudo(8) with the administrator privileges parameter of the do
shell script command will no longer cause the script to hang. In
general, adding sudo to with administrator privileges is redundant,
but some scripts rely on it. [4126949]
