b is a block containing one thing: a string

The first append appends to the one and only thing in b -- it's the same as:

b: [""]
append b/1 "hi"

As there is only one thing in b,  b/2, b/3 etc can't be resolved.

length? b
== 1

b/2
==none

The one thing in b has a length of 2 and you can append to that:

append b/1 "low"
== "hilow"          ;; item b/1 has been extended
probe b
== ["hilow"]            ;; but b still contains only one thing


So, if you really want more than one string, you need to set b up with more 
than one to start with -- try smething like:

 a: [1 2 3 4 5]
 b: copy loop  4 [append [] copy ""]

x: index? a
append b/:x "hi"
x: index? find a 4
append b/:x "hi"
probe b
== ["hi" "" "" "hi"]   ;; b/1 and b/4 both extended
