Library Confusion

I have just noticed a problem or bug in Mavericks (10.9.5).

Here is the test script ...

tell application "Finder"

activate

set selList to get selection

if (count items of selList) ≠ 1 then return

end tell

set folderAlias to (item 1 of selList) as alias

log folderAlias as text

I ran this script from AppleScript Editor with various selections

and obtained these results:

If the selection is any item except StartupDisk:System:Library:

the correct path is logged.

However, if the folder Library within the folder System is selected

then the script logs the incorrect path

StartupDisk:Library:

This explains why I was getting an incorrect response from another script I was trying to run.

Does it explain any strange responses you have obtained ?
