As an update, I've discovered that after importing said four-page rtf file (I actually have 30-some to process), running:

search in myStory for "^p^p" replacing with "^p"

crashes ID 2 every time. So, it occurred to me that I could nonetheless do this:

repeat
 set myResult to search in myStory for "^p^p"
 try
  get myResult
 on error
  -- there weren't any
  exit repeat
 end try
 repeat with n from count of myResult to 1 by -1
  set contents of item n of myResult to return
 end repeat
end repeat
