| Thanks to all who replied, especially to Yvan.
I have filed a bug report.
I have decided to alter my program slightly to use Chris Page’s suggestion:
tell application "System Events" to set frontProcess to the first item of (processes whose frontmost is true) …script runs here and could cause a different app to become the frontmost ... set the frontmost of frontProcess to true — restore the previous frontmost app (this is actually a program option)
which works in Yosemite and is a more efficient way to do what I want.

In Yosemite I get this error:
Can't make alias "disk1s3 2:Applications:Script Timer.app" of application "System Events" into type text. Number=-1700
