That's a really old bug. I think the fix is this mod to the Home stack 
that specifically puts the tools stack in use:

on startup
   if the version >="2.7" then
     start using stack "mctools.mc"
     if the platform <> "MacOS" then
       open stack "mctools.mc"
     end if
     set the defaultStack to "Home"
     reset cursors
   end if
   pass startup
end startup

Right. It doesn't check for any scripts, it just moves the stacks from 
the download site. If you've made changes to your Home stack or other 
tools, use the option that adds the engine to an existing set of MC 
stacks (or move your Home stack into the new folder after setup finishes.)
