Aha! It's the word "text" that is blowing things. This works:



tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
 set theIndex to index of (character 1 whose contents is "{") of paragraph 1 of selection 
end tell



FWIW, the following also crashes ID:



tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
 set theIndex to index of (character 1 whose text is "{") of paragraph 1 of selection 
end tell



I'm not sure where I got the idea that I needed "text contents" but there you go. At least I can now move forward.
