Why are 2 Terminal windows opening with NSAppleScript?

If no Terminal app is open, the following code opens TWO Terminal windows. Why is it doing this? I only want one window to open.

If only one Terminal window is open, then the following code opens only ONE additional window.

NSAppleScript* terminal = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:
                           [NSString stringWithFormat:
                                @"tell application \"Terminal\"\n"
                                @"    activate\n"
                                @"    do script \"echo %@\"\n"
                                @"    tell the front window\n"
                                @"    set title displays shell path to false\n"
                                @"    set title displays custom title to true\n"
                                @"    set custom title to \"My session! %@\"\n"
                                @"    end tell\n"
                                @"end tell", name, name]];

[terminal executeAndReturnError:nil];
