Here is a short subset of an old script.
Most of the time it refuse to compile but once, 15 minutes ago it did but refuse again now.

Hey Yvan,
It compiled perfectly for me in Script Debugger verbatim.
I then cleaned out the comments and changed the variable names but otherwise left the structure intact:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set _firstName to "Christopher"
set _lastName to "Stone"
tell application "Contacts"
try
set _person to (get first person whose (first name is _firstName) and (last name is _lastName))
end try
end tell
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This version also compiled perfectly in Script Debugger.
BUT.
I launched the Applescript Editor, pasted the above code in, hit compile, and had a failure of the type you describe.
Strangely hitting compile again allowed the script to actually compile.
Subsequent paste/compile cycles work without a problem.
Quit and restart the Applescript Editor and paste/compile works without a problem.

Quite weird. Perhaps a bug.
