That's precisely where the problem is happening.

Yes, that's the 1%. But it's generally only cases like opening a URL, where the definition of when an action is complete is hard to define, and in the case of commands that take a long time.

You have a funny view of the world, if I may say so. Here's a simple classic script:

tell application "Whatever"
	activate
	display dialog "Hello"
end tell

For the past 20-odd years, you could guarantee that that dialog would be presented by an active "Whatever". As of Yosemite, you can't. How can changed behavior like that be "as expected"?
