errorDialog broken?

I could understand the errant script (the button) being omitted from the 
message path during an error condition, but what surprised me is that 
the stack's script was also omitted.

Exploring further, I created a stack which I put into the message path 
with "start using", which has:

on errorDialog
   put the name of me && the params
end errorDialog

It was ignored too. :\

It's almost like the IDE engine has had special handling added at some 
point to send errorDialog messages directly to one particular IDE script.

Thanks - done:

FWIW, this behavior is the same when I test with the oldest version I 
have installed, 6.7rc2.
