Here's what I have now:

Object.prototype.releaseAnchored = function() {
	if (this.parent.constructor.name != "Character") throw "Object is neither anchored nor inline"
	this.select(SelectionOptions.replaceWith);
	this.parent.parentStory.recompose();
	var myBounds = this.geometricBounds;
	app.cut();
	app.paste();
	app.selection[0].move([myBounds[1], myBounds[0]]);
	return app.selection[0]
}

Out with "Holy cow!" in with a more circumspect error message. And I've added recomposing the parent story to make sure the geometric bounds are good.

By the way, Paste in Place has the same problem in the UI.
