I think the "fix" will be to move everything into the data fork. This is
from one of the AS engineers on another list:

This is a problem in that a compiled script (.scpt) is saved as
data-fork only and we aren't allowed to save anything in the resource
fork (where window positions are normally saved). I'm not going to get
into the politics of this decision, but we hope to have a solution for
this when SE 2 final ships that doesn't violate the resource for[k] rule."
