this works correctly when putting this into a buttons script!
There ARE some ugly issues with the message box for a long time, and this seems to be one of them...

Here is another one:
...
answer file "Yadda Yadda" with type "Images|jpg,png,pdf,bmp|";put it
.. 
you will get "images" (on a Mac, maybe windows, too)

BUT:
...
answer file "Yadda Yadda" with type "Images|jpg,png,pdf,bmp|";ANSWER it
...
will ANSWER the correct filepath!
???

I already bug reported this about 4 years ago:
