It sounds more like the delete command is broke.
How about this:

tell application "Finder"
	activate
	tell window 1 -- clears out Finder idiosyncrasies
		tell application "Finder" -- used here and at end
			set winTarget to target of front window as alias
		end tell
		set fileList to list folder winTarget with invisibles
		if fileList contains ".DS_Store" then
			try
				delete item ".DS_Store"
			end try
		end if
	end tell
end tell
