The second resolves because you are not resolving an alias. path to startup disk as text returns just that text.

Now if you were to try this

alias ((path to startup disk as text) & "this file does not exist")

then yes it would fail.

I inadvertently omitted "alias" when transcribing in the message, but it does not fail when "alias" is there.
