Then this must be a bug in the Finder. Perhaps you should file a bug report?

incredibly simple example and you'll see what I mean (it's weird, but should
work on any standard OS X installation). It gets stuck on the first ".." and
ends up revealing /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/ instead:

The problem is merely the involvement of the Finder. Do it like this:
set f to "/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/../../../Preview.app"
set p to POSIX file f
tell application "Finder" to reveal p
Ta-daa! m.
