You've got two unrelated bugs here. The first is that 'POSIX path of <record>' doesn't raise an error -1728 as it should. The second is that parts of Cocoa's ApplicationKit throw a wobbly when they encounter ASCII 0 characters, presumably 'cos they're making unsafe assumptions about them being string terminators when they're not. All you can do is file bug reports and hope Apple fix them (especially the second one, as it affects more than just AppleScripters).
