It can!

Sorry, my fault! I thought this was the script of a CARD!

Did you try to swap the lines?
I mean, first set the loc and then the w-shape...

P.S.
Wasn't there an issue with w-shapes and w-decorations???
I have something like this on my mind...

Try this one:

on PREOPENSTACK
   set the decorations of this stack to "default"
   set the loc of me to the screenLoc
   set the windowshape of me to 1008
end PREOPENSTACK
