open alias discrepancy in OS X Lion?

The following in Snow Leopard:

tell application "Finder"
set ical_app to item "iCal" in folder "Applications" of the startup disk
set ical_app to ical_app as string
open alias ical_app
end tell

-- result - opens the iCal application

In Lion:

-- result - opens Finder to the package contents of the iCal.app

Can anyone else verify this in Lion? or have any thoughts on why the difference? is this a bug or do I need to find a workaround?

Todd
