Osax-planation.
Mr Neufeld, the friendly neighborhood geek down the street, elucidated thus on why my AppleScript woes were suddenly vanquished to the ether:
"When you removed the conflicting osaxen, your script just compiled against the system dictionaries. Since it was already compiled when you put the osaxen back, it remembered which commands to use (the system ones) by more than just the words of your script (scripts are actually stored using OSType codes — not the English language commands)."
See, I knew there was a technically obvious explanation. Word up.
