I had already answered that, in the portion you quoted below:

Remember that long before your scripts become active the Rev IDE does 
its initialization.  While I haven't read the code for Rev's boot 
sequence the evidence suggests that their IDE alters some properties of 
the template graphic so that by the time your script comes into play the 
template graphic is different.

You can verify that it isn't the engine by using the same Rev engine 
with the MC IDE.  Merely copying that executable file won't alter it, so 
any differences are accounted for in the IDEs.
