It's been like that for many years. For some reason, when you directly
coerce a list containing a reference in its source code, the items at
and after the reference don't appear in the result. You have to 'get'
the list first to resolve the reference(s).
Similarly:
property mnths : {"Jan.", "Feb.", "March", "April", "May", "June",
"July", "Aug.", "Sept.", "Oct.", "Nov.", "Dec."}
set m1 to item 1 of mnths
{m1} = {item 1 of mnths}
--> false
