In what way? “repeat … end” is guaranteed to execute at least once, and if you don’t intend it to execute more than once, it shouldn’t be a repeat loop.
Lots of repeat loops might only repeat once ... errors, calculations that render the lack or need ... my point is merely that a repeat with a fake check isn't misleading if it's clear.

I find that code misleading because it implies that that test will actually be used to exit the loop, but it isn’t.
A "lonely" repeat statement collides with Applescript's only way to ensure the loop executes once.
