I can confirm that a 10.10 applet crashes on 10.6.8, while a 10.9 applet
runs on it without problem.
There's nothing about this in the release notes. Mind you, breaking
backwards/current/forward compatibility without telling anyone is hardly
a new phenomenon: I've also noticed some coercion handlers have
magically disappeared from the Apple Event Manager, other folks here
have already pointed out how janky the latest Script Editor is, and
let's not get started on JavaScript for Automation.
(If it's any consolation, accidental/deliberate compatibility breakage
is hardly unique to AppleScript, nor even Apple for that matter. e.g. I
hear Adobe's really screwed up JavaScript support in their latest CC
releases, which I imagine is going down a ball amongst its
automation-dependent customers.)
The workaround would be to save an empty applet on 10.7, then copy it to
10.10. Whenever you want to make an applet on 10.10 that works on 10.7,
save your script as `main.scpt`, then copy it into the empty applet's
bundle replacing the `main.scpt` already there.
