My guess would be a bug. Script Debugger (recent versions), ASObjC Explorer and
the system Script menu use the same method of running scripts from their script
menus, which involves running them in a separate process (using
NSUserScriptTask). I'm guessing the other apps you mention are running them
within their own processes, using NSAppleScript, OSAScript or (more likely)
C-based APIs.
The former method was introduced primarily as a way for sandboxed apps to run
scripts, and it effectively insulates the app from any potential script
problems -- something more likely in ASObjC. But there's been no documented
change that should make the other method any less reliable. I gather you're not
using APFS, yes?
