I'm not sure why...

My memory, by the look of it. So here's an alternative where it doesn't matter:

try
do shell script "defaults read com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles"
do shell script "defaults delete com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles"
on error
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
end try

It'll do the wrong thing the first time if you've set to 0, but should be good from then on.
