I just made a test stack too, and all these messages (except the 
"startup" message) are received just fine in version 2.8. The lack of a 
startup message isn't a bug, so I excluded that from my test.

To duplicate my test, make a new stack with a single field. In the stack 
script, put everything between these "start script" and "end script" lines:

== start script ==

on openStack
   put "openstack received" & cr after fld 1
end openStack

on openCard
   put "openCard received" & cr after fld 1
end openCard


on preOpenStack
   put "preOpenStack received" & cr after fld 1
end preOpenStack

on preOpenCard
   put "preOpenCard received" & cr after fld 1
end preOpenCard

== end script ==

Save the stack, quit Rev. Then drop the stack onto Revolution's icon. 
The field shows all the messages were sent.

Where are you placing your message handlers? They will need to be either 
on the first card or the in the stack script.
