In that case, the problem must be a bug.

When a find/replace fails done this way, the only recourse is to use a search to gather references to all the text items and then use a loop to apply the desired formatting to the found results:

set myFinds to search for findText
repeat with myFound in myFinds
 set position of myFound to replacePosition
 set fill color of myFound to replaceColor
 set fill tint of myFound to replaceTint
 set applied font of myFound to replaceFont
end repeat

It's slower but it works (I hope).
