Robert quoted my script and suggested a different way of tackling the problem:

myStories = app.documents[0].stories; 
for (var j = myStories.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) { 
  if (myStories[j].textFrames.length == 1) { 
    myStories.textFrames[0].contentType = ContentType.unassigned; 
  } 
}

These two aren't functionally equivalent. This second version will work for any frames that are anchored to type on a path. But it won't reassign empty text frames in a threaded story even if the whole story is empty.

If you want that behavior, then use:

myStories = app.documents[0].stories; 
for (var j = myStories.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) { 
  if (myStories[j].content == "") { 
    myStories.textFrames.everyItem().contentType = ContentType.unassigned; 
  } 
}
