The bug here is that the indicated items are not really "invisible" - they're just being omitted by the Finder.

If you have dev tools installed try this:

cd /
/Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo mach

attributes: avbstclinmedz

Observe the lower case v, meaning "not invisible."

Now try on another item like "Temporary Items" and observe the upper case V.

So it appears that AppleScript is obeying the actual state of the items and the Finder is just kindly omitting them to keep you from being annoyed by them :)

When I run this script:

   list folder (path to startup disk) without invisibles

I get this result:

{"Applications", "Developer", "Library", "mach", "mach.sym", "System",
"Users"}


But "mach" and "mach.sym" are invisible, as far as I can see when I look at
the window.


Do others see this too?
