This is a creative workaround...but we still need to figure out how to 
do the "right" thing and get the 'fullResult' to be properly returned 
from the 'evaluate query given by' applescript command. (I spent a 
little more time looking at this and I'm currently stumped. Perhaps I 
can get some help from the applescript-implementors mailing list.)

Keep up the good work,
