I seem to remember having problems like this in the past.
The workaround is not to use a system event as the message you are sending.

Change your field script so it has a separate handler. e.g.

on mouseUp
     doMouseUpStuff
end mouseUp

command doMouseUpStuff
   -- put the script in here
end doMouseUpStuff

Then in your openCard handler, send "doMouseUpStuff" to the field
instead of mouseUp.
