That doesn't work.
And there is NO problem if the second 'display alert ...' is replaced with a 'display dialog ...'
The problem is ONLY with 'display alert', not with 'display dialog'.

I don't think it's the first dialog, either. In the script where this first appeared, the 'delay 5' is a handler that does Finder stuff for many minutes, after which the second dialog appears only briefly. It's supposed to be visible for up to 10 seconds.

delay 5
-- your finder stuff
tell application "Finder" to get desktop folder -- somehow break the delay that is causing the "giving up after.." part to fail
display dialog "woohoo!" giving up after 4
