| Indeed - and this is how the "path to resource" command is working. In the same way that "display dialog" in a tell block will cause the dialog to appear in the context of the targeted application, the path to resource command is executing in the Finder's context, and thus searching for resources in its bundle contents.
For instance, try changing your code to this:
tell application "Finder" to set iconToUse to path to resource "burnableFolder.icns"
The scripting addition is being very consistent - always doing the same thing - it's you that is pulling the rug out from under it by changing what "the resources folder" is at the given time. :)

Unlike application commands, scripting addition commands always work the same way regardless of the application to which they are sent."
Indeed, this is how AppleScript behaves when using the "display dialog" or "display alert" command, for example.
