The only valid work-around for this problem is to convert a reference to an alias via text,
as in ...

folderRef as text as alias

This gives the correct result every time.

But, where is the bug ? Is it in the system or AppleScript ?

I'm thinking that it's in the system, because a reference to a folder contained in startupDisk:System:Library:
but not in startupDisk:Library: does not produce the erroneous result.

But, I could be wrong. Opinions welcomed.
