I use TIDs this way all the time to break out parts of text.
All I get is

I think that you have an OSAX in there that is handling that code.
Here is what the ASLG has to say about it:
"The Text Item Delimiters property consists of a list of strings used
as delimiters by AppleScript when it coerces lists to strings or gets
text items from strings. AppleScript currently uses only the first
delimiter in the list."
