My first message shown that the Finder accepts a whose clause applying to a list the late one shown that System Events doesn't accept such syntax.
In fact, if my memory is right, the behavior of whose is not a standard one. It depends of the way the application author implemented the feature.

Thanks, Yvan.
So I guess this means that the terms used with a whose clause is application dependent.
Disappointing and confusing. I had always thought that it was as AppleScript term that applied to all apps.

System Events refuse to apply whose to a list of file names.
tell application "System
Events"
set appNameList to every application
process whose name is in {"Keyboard
Maestro", "Finder", "Script Debugger"}
end tell
--> error "Erreur dans System Events : Impossible de convertir {\"Keyboard Maestro\", \"Finder\",
\"Script Debugger\"} en type specifier." number -1700 from {"Keyboard
Maestro", "Finder", "Script Debugger"} to specifier
We must test names one by one.
tell application "System
Events"
set appNameList to every application
process whose (name is "Keyboard
Maestro") or (name is "Finder") or name is "Script
Debugger"
end tell
--> {application
process "Finder" of application "System
Events", application process "Script
Debugger" of application "System
Events"}
