FWIW, this is a not-uncommon problem with AppleScript formatting preferences. 
It happens even if people lock the .plist. Someone plagued with it recently 
came up with this Terminal solution on the AppleScript mailing list:

do shell script "asprefs=$(defaults read com.apple.applescript) ; defaults 
write com.apple.applescript \"$asprefs\""

Looks odd, but it might be worth a try.
