Add Surface causes Script to Freeze(?)

I've recreated Sarah's polyline-enclosed grid from the first Marionette webinar. When I add a rectangle to the polyline (using the Add Surface command) and re-run the script, Vectorworks freezes and I need to Force Quit.

I have since found that when adding or subtracting surfaces, the original object's name (in the Data tab of the OIP) is lost. If I rename the new shape with its original name, the script works fine. If the Clip Tool is used to subtract from the shape, there's no issue: the new shape retains the original name, and the script works fine.

Is the inability of shapes to retain their name when Add and Subtract Surface commands are used on them expected behavior? It kinda seems like the name should be retained (just as the original shape's attributes are retained...).
