Strange script error - pass openStack

In trying to debug a problem with my music program, at one point I got an error dialog:
Message execution error:
Error description: Object Name:
Hint: stack "/Applications/LiveCode Business 9.6.1.app/Contents/Tools/Toolset/home.livecodescript”
So, I tried stepping through an openStack handler I have, and sure enough, once I passed the “pass openStack” I saw that same error in the Message box.
I’ve just tried making a new stack that has:
on openStack
pass openStack
end openStack
with the red break on the line "pass openStack", and the same error showed in the Message box.
I poked into the script of the stack home.livecodescript and see these lines
if the short name of the owner of the target is not "Home" then
pass openStack
end if
I add a line before that: put “foo”
After the dialog is closed the Message box shows:
Message execution error:
Error description: Chunk: no target found
Question 1 — should this be happening—me seeing a livecodescript error—and can it affect my openStack handler, or the total operation of my stack?
Question 2 — should I be passing openStack on from my project? I’ve been doing that since HyperCard days and never thought a second about it.
