With the {} you're trying to coerce a list into an alias, which doesn't always work.

set desktop picture to myDesktopPhoto
set desktop picture to item 1 of{"Macintosh HD:Users:test.jpg" } as alias
This one is my favorite:
set desktop picture to alias "Macintosh HD:Users:test.jpg"
because it requires the file to be there when you compile the script, which, in this case, may mean fewer runtime surprises.
