This works for me. Weird because it looks like it's essentially the same script.

Pretty much. The only real difference is the activate command.

Unfortunately, that doesn't fix the problem here...

10.4.8/Intel

I restarted with no ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions just to make sure. It still works. I concocted the script with Bill's goal but not his code. I didn't know the value indicator had its containing slider as a supervisor so I added a 'select' command in case I had to change the focus for it to have values. But that turned out to be unnecessary.

tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect"
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell application process "System Preferences"
tell window 1
tell tab group 1
click radio button "Screen Saver"
tell group 1
tell slider 1
select value indicator 1
set value to 361.0
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
