Haven't actually played with this, but I'm wondering if the
preferences for tabs might be different on your machine?
Specifically, on the General tab in Safari prefs, Open links from
applications: in a new tab in the current window (which in turn
depends on tabs being turned on, but I assume we wouldn't be having
this discussion if you didn't have that...)
I wondered about that too but as I had moved from one machine to
another I thought that there may be other factors.
You are right.
Safari --> preferences --> select tabs and windows as they are created
ON : all URLs appear in tabs in one window
OFF: each URL will appear in a new window

I've just moved over to a newer machine. OS X 10.4.11 Safari 3.0.4.
The code quoted at bottom still produces a new window with every
step. Are you running 10.5?
What works for me is:
set urlList to {"http://dogpile.com";, "http://www.rediscovermt.com/"}
tell application "Safari"
set win to (make new document at beginning with properties
{URL:item
1 of urlList}) -- becomes window 1
set urlList to rest of urlList
repeat with i in urlList
tell window 1
make new tab with properties {URL:i}
end tell
end repeat
end tell
