My feeling is that something changed in the message box parsing routines

A semicolon in any script is interpreted as a line ending, except when within quotation marks. If the example failed (where the semicolon is within the quotes) then that would be a problem with the scripts that interpret the message box content.

That said, it is very tricky to implement code correctly in all cases from the message box because of the "do" statements and other contortions it needs to use. Ideally, tests should always be conducted from the script editor where the intermediate interpretive layer isn't present.
