I had some dim memories of reading a blog posting of a similar problem but could not recall the details.
Then the phrase "hitting the window server" came back to me. A bit of googling on this then did the trick.

It turns out that, under Leopard, if a foundation tool resides within a bundle's /Contents/MacOS folder and that tool executes an AppleScript then the window server, for some reason, generates a dock icon for it. The solution is to move the tool out of /Contents/ MacOS and into /Contents/Resources.

Thanks for the heads up.
