Ok....there was an embarrassingly sloppy mistake but it's fixed now.
That's what I get for scripting before coffee :) .
Working version, which doesn't add the extra comma & space, is at
http://dfay.fastmail.fm/bibdesk/ and pasted below:
tell application "BibDesk"
activate
-- without document, there is no selection, so nothing to do
if (count of documents) = 0 then
beep
display dialog "No documents found." buttons {"•"} default button 1
giving up after 3
end if
set thePublications to the selection of document 1
set theKeyword to text returned of (display dialog "Enter keyword to
add:" default answer "")
repeat with thePub in thePublications
set currentKeywords to get keywords of thePub as string
if (currentKeywords is not "") then
set delimiter to ", "
else
set delimiter to ""
end if
set keywords of thePub to (keywords of thePub & delimiter &
theKeyword)
end repeat
set selection of document 1 to thePublications
end tell -- Bibdesk

Try adding things like "get" in various places (like "get keywords
of thePub"). Or separate getting the keywords and comparing it to
"" into two statements. Or add a line "set thePub to contents of
thePub"
after the repeat line (that is usually a good thing to do with a
"repeat with" statement, annoying but that's what AppleScript is).
BTW, an alternative is also to use the Database Find & Replace panel.
