Thanks to those who replied.
The workaround I found, similar to that Luther suggested, was to
enclose the alerts in a "tell Finder activate" ... "end tell" block.
"activate me ... tell me" seems to work too, but this is a bit
bizarre.
"activate me ... tell me" is required, and works, when Show in Dock =
false. (It's documented, but I don't remember the where at the moment.)
Even if Show in Dock = true, you still need "activate me ... tell me"
just in case the dialog appears when you've brought another
application to the front. (Avoids the bouncy icon in the Dock.)
I think the busy cursor in this case is a bug.
