The "as string" did it. Passing from Objective-C to AppleScript uses lazy
conversion; it doesn't happen unless you ask for it.

You're expecting roughly the equivalent of an enum being returned as a string
rather than an int in Objective-C, or a constant necessarily matching what it
represents. Script Editor has the dictionary loaded so it can do the
conversion, but a running app doesn't, so it converts the underlying code as
best it can.
You need to test the options and build your own string:
if class of myMessage is outgoing message then
set kMessageClass of myDictionary to "outgoing message"
