No, Eric, you're right! And this is a bug that will probably bite a lot of
people (including me)...

I can't tell you how many places I've said stuff like:

  ask <string>
  if the result is not "Cancel" then
    put it into tString
    <do something with tString>
  end if

NOW, this will totally fail. It of course works properly in 2.5.1, so it's
definitely a 2.6 bug. Eric, if you don't log it in Bugzilla let me know and
I'll log it. Please mark it as "severe".
