It's been partially fixed in 10.4.2. The discussion at:
<http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?email@hiddennsJStM.1@.68addd0b>
describes the workaround-see the last post. Basically, you need to
explicitly launch Keychain Scripting and Keychain Access, in that order,
before calling for the password:

	tell application "Keychain Scripting" to launch
	tell application "Keychain Access" to launch

If you reverse the order, the error returns.
