| Thanks Michelle,
I opted for;
on open {droppedItem} tell application "Finder" to set the_kind to kind of droppedItem …
Subtleties do give weird results.

Is there a cure?
Yup:
on open (droppedItem) display dialog droppedItem tell application "Finder" to set the_kind to kind of item 1 of droppedItem display dialog the_kind end open
Alternatively:
on open {droppedItem} display dialog droppedItem tell application "Finder" to set the_kind to kind of droppedItem display dialog the_kind end open
Notice that when you drop something on a droplet, it returns a list; you can't get the kind of a list, so it returns the error.
