In OS9 they probably should, since -- so far as I can tell! -- AppleScript
there is the file manager API to be used if you need something. In OSX nope
though, since there the file manager API is *NOT* an AppleScript, but the
NSWorkspace. Therefore, they should write the proper NSWorkspace category
instead.

That, of course, does not mean that they might not *want to* do it
(=implement the same AppleEvent suites that the real Finder does) to support
legacy Carbon software, plus those like you. Should I write a Finder
replacement myself, I probably would have that in my tasklist, but with
pretty low priority.

Actually, I *think* the real target one should communicate with to properly
use Trash is Dock, not Finder: presumably (and hopefully!) it's exactly what
Finder itself does. I'll try to hack it out when I'm back in OSX. Just now I
am stuck in OSXServer 1 by a big ugly WebObjects project though (whilst my
own OSX work stays, eek!).
