This is what I use (having discovered the same thing the hard way):

set today to date "Tuesday, July 8, 2008 8:00:00 AM"
set sub to 11
set time of today to (time of (today - 1 * days)) + (24 - sub) * hours
today

This works:
set today to date "Tuesday, July 8, 2008 8:00:0 AM"
set time of today to (time of today) + anything

This doesn't:
set today to date "Tuesday, July 8, 2008 8:00:0 AM"
set time of today to (time of today) - something

if "something" causes "today" to be the previous day (or earlier). However, it works if it causes it to be earlier in the same day.
