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 :)

Nice catch. However, one does not need developer tools, ask "System Events"...
