In particular, the ability to act upon invisible items was rather restricted, since such items aren't reachable in the GUI.

Yes, the Finder does have a problem with invisible files/folders.
But, in this case, the temporary items folder is ...

"OS_X:private:var:folders:eJ:eJwmSk7uFauWoGY2A+8Sok+++TI:-Tmp-:TemporaryItems:"

which is not invisible. Only the folder "OS_X:private:" is invisible.
Its contents are very visible. So, I don't think visibility is involved, here.

I don't know why opening the window of the temporary items folder makes the script work correctly, but it does. And it shouldn't. I'm thinking I should file a bug report on this and let Apple figure it out.
