I agree very much with Richard that a simple click in the editor should 
not mark the script as dirty. But when I look at your recipe, it says a 
click on a handler name in the list marks the script as dirty. What 
happens when you click on a handler name? The selection in the script 
editor changes, just as though you'd clicked in there yourself. The 
behavior is consistent. I'm not sure why clicking in the fuction 
wouldn't alter the selection, unless that was a handler that was already 
storing it.

I don't think colorization matters to the dirty flag, so you can 
eliminate that from the recipe.

That said, Alex Tweedly has just proven me wrong and posted a bug to 
bugzilla that reproduces the problem in the editor without clicking on 
anything at all. He provided a sample stack. Thanks Alex. Good sleuthing.
