That's correct. Barry already pointed this out and I must have simply
remembered incorrectly.

What I gather is happening, from what you, Barry and Allen have said, is
that Entourage 2004 is deeming the message an accepted invitation because it
was created by a script. BUT, since the message ISN'T an accepted
invitation, there is no invitee and that is why Entourage is letting me
invite someone. HOWEVER, since you can't invite someone to an invitation you
have received and accepted, the event isn't sent to your invitee.

Definitely a bug and, for me, since I use the scripts all the time, an ugly
one.

Nothing changes. The event still shows my invitee, but nothing has been sent
to them. I think I might have it figured out in my little exposition above.

IMAP. I don't think the account type has anything to do with it. I find it
interesting that they changed the way Entourage views AppleScript-created
events. I wonder what modified feature caused them to change the previous
behavior which caused this bug?
