Deivy & Paul,

I never claimed it would. I also have found why it works here - Windowshade X, a haxie from Unsanity.com. With it disabled I get the same results as you. Here's why it's not functioning.

I ran this script with SD4's event log open

--> Script <--
tell application "iTunes"
	get collapsed of window 1
	set collapsed of window 1 to true
	delay 0.5
	get collapsed of window 1
	set collapsed of window 1 to false
	delay 0.5
	get collapsed of window 1
	set collapsed of window 1 to not collapsed of window 1
	delay 0.5
	get collapsed of window 1
end tell
--> /Script <--

Here's the resulting log entries with a few comments -

-- started
tell application "iTunes"
	get collapsed of window 1
	-->	false
	set collapsed of window 1 to true
	get collapsed of window 1
	-->	true
	set collapsed of window 1 to false
	get collapsed of window 1
	-->	true -- ut oh!
	get collapsed of window 1
	-->	true -- implied get from the toggle type of statement
	set collapsed of window 1 to false
	get collapsed of window 1
	-->	true -- again ut oh!
end tell
-- stopped
