It is the final action I have a problem with, as dozens of arrow key

and background actions are triggered.

Here is a minimal version of the handler I have:

on arrowKey theKey
    if theKey is "up" then
       put current_value + increment into the target
    end if -- up
    if theKey is "down" then
       put current_value - increment into the target
    end if -- down
    pass arrowKey
end arrowKey

Works okay here using only the simplified handler you posted (after I added values to the variables increment and current_value.) I'm testing in LC 9 dp 10. My test handler, located in a field script:

on arrowKey theKey
  put 1 into increment
  put me into current_value
  if theKey is "up" then
    put current_value + increment into the target
  end if -- up
  if theKey is "down" then
    put current_value - increment into the target
  end if -- down
  pass arrowKey
end arrowKey

Does this simplified handler work for you? If so, then something farther along the message path is duplicating the messages. Unless you need it, try removing the "pass" statement.
