From the Finder's point of view, that "works" perfectly, though it
doesn't do what you want. I created a folder on my desktop named
"~/..", and the result is:
tell application "Finder" to get folder "~/.."
--> folder "~/.." of folder "Desktop" of folder "dlyons" ... of
application "Finder"
Finder scripting doesn't have any support for POSIX style paths; if
any is added in the future, it couldn't use the above syntax (because
that would introduce ambiguity).
Cheers,
