AFAIK, AppleScripts can only be run on the main thread. But it’s been many OS releases since I worked with them. Even if it’s legal to run them from a background thread now, they might be doing something like dispatching the actual execution to the main thread? (I’m just speculating.)
Anyway, if the main thread is unresponsive, then drop into the debugger and look at its stack to see what it’s blocked in. Experiment.
