Hi to all,
with morning light and rested eyes, I see a mistake in my original 
post....

I wrote:

Actually, I repeated these two lines twice:

    set the customproperties["allDataProps"] of stack whichFile \
         to the customproperties["allDataProps"] of stack "dataTemplate"
    save stack whichfile

Therefore, the workaround is to simply execute
    save stack whichfile
twice (which has the effect of saving the stack once).

Note: this is only necessary on the first attempt to save.
After the first successful 'save' (which requires two saves)
the standalone works properly until it quits.
