That's an approach that I hadn't considered, but it's even more obtuse than the string-based workarounds I presented.
Also, this doesn't address the case where a property's name is one of the affected raw codes (e.g. - <<class from>>).

Can you not compare with known reference types? Something like:

tell application "System Events"
    set namedRef to fonts folder -- named
    set idRef to disk 1 -- id
    set procRef to process "Finder" of application "System Events"
    set refRecord to procRef as record
    if ?class form? of refRecord = ?class form? of (namedRef as record) then
        -- named
    else if ?class form? of refRecord = ?class form? of (idRef as record)
then
        -- id
    else
        -- etc
    end if
end tell
