What I see is "reply" behaving as if it were "beep" - it just does it and you get no reply.

You get the same with "open":

tell application "Mail"
	set msg to message 400 of message viewer 1
	set myMessage1 to reply msg with opening window
	set myMessage2 to open msg
end tell

That gives me two open windows and two empty variables.

The difference is shown in the dictionary:

open v : Open an object.
open reference : list of objects to open

Note that there is nothing returned.

reply v : Creates a reply message.
reply message : the message to reply to
[opening window boolean] : Whether the window for the reply message is shown. Default is to not show the window.
[reply to all boolean] : Whether to reply to all recipients. Default is to reply to the sender only.
→ outgoing message : the reply message


Note that there is supposed to be something returned, namely the reply message.

It really is a bug.
