Unwanted Response

While experimenting with Robert Poland's script, "Re: old script fails AND BUG in Smile 3.5.2 (build 609)", I found a most irritating little script. It is ...

on open dropList
end open

Nothing else. That's all of it!
I compiled it as an application bundle via ASE. When an item is dropped on it, the only response should be NOTHING. And for folders and most files, NOTHING happens, as it should.

But, if you drop a .webloc file on it, Safari launches and displays the location as if you had double-clicked the .webloc file. Very irritating!

This is in Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and it looks like a bug. The open handler has a long history of automatically resolving alias files, which is always an unwanted response. If I need to resolve an alias file, I can always use 'original item'.
