Also, from the scripting side, if you want to use a posix path, you can
do so by saying:
open posix file "/Users/stephenmcintosh/Pictures/100_0590.JPG"
But as soon as you compile the script in Script Editor, it will replace
it with an HFS-style path.

That's wrong. AppleScript takes old-style HFS paths. Since
HFS-to-Unix-path conversion happens by swapping colons and slashes
(mostly), this explains why you seem to be getting an HFS path. You're
not, you're just passing in a file name containing slashes, instead of
a pathname...
