The catch is that BBEdit does not process Apple Events while running Unix
scripts (including Perl, Python, Ruby, Shell, Tcl, ...). That means that if
you run a script from the BBEdit #! menu, you cannot send Apple Events to
BBEdit from that script. This includes calling osascript to make BBEdit do
something for you. If the script runs outside of BBEdit, this is not an
issue.
These inconveniences can be overcome if you write a stay-open daemon
in AppleScript to handle things. This device is something you hear
very little mention of in most AppleScript forums and it really
deserves more attention. You can add handlers in the daemon for all
sorts of things, not necessarily related to each other.
