Open .term Files in 10.3

In OS 10.3, is there a way to use AppleScript to have Terminal open a shell
using the settings from a saved Terminal settings (.term) file?  I have a
series of scripts that worked without problem in earlier OS versions but no
longer do so consistently in 10.3.

In 10.3, I have tried variants of the following:

tell application "Terminal" to open file "path:to:term:file"

tell application "Finder" to open file "path:to:term:file"

tell application "Finder"
open file "path:to:term:file" using application file id "trmx"
end tell

What has been confusing is that in 10.3, each of these commands *sometimes*
opens a Terminal shell with the saved .term settings; with other runs no new
shell appears or the default shell appears.  There has been no obvious
pattern of when it does or does not work and the syntax never results in an
error message.

Anybody know how to do this consistently?
