Hmm. Turns out that your simplified script works fine for me in LC 5.5.1 too -- the "sePrefInit" and "revSEColorize" commands seem to be unnecessary anyway. Interestingly, if I try to do this:
   _internal script colorize char 1 to -1 of field "FScript"
it gives an error. Apparently whatever handles an "_internal" script can't handle anything but the original old chunk expressions.
