I'm sure you are right but riddle me this:
open location "imacros://run/?m=LastPostPreviewClip.iim"
--> An error of type -10814 has occurred
but
tell application "Firefox" to open location"imacros://run/?m=LastPostPreviewClip.iim"
Works fine.
I'm guessing "imacros://" isn't recognized as a url by Applescript but is by Firefox. "http://"; url's work as you describe. Thankfully the tell statement works or I'd be up the creek.
