They do retain independent values, one set of script locals for each
instance. For example, if you have two buttons that use the same
behavior, button 1 will retain its script local values and button 2 will
retain its own (different) set of values.

Okay, so apparently I cannot use script local variables in a behavior. Setting
the variables in a handler in a behavior script does not retain the values when
that handler exits, like they do in a normal object script. Should they?
The workaround for me is to simply get the custom property of each stack (an
array in each stack containing all the values I need) and then reference the
array values directly instead of trying to set script local values. The
downside to this is I have to get the array in every handler in the behavior
script. Not a big deal, but I was trying to be efficient by only having to
initialize the values once upon every openStack.

Hi all. I nailed this down, and it is indeed as someone surmised, that even
though the script editor variable watcher indicated that script local variables
had the correct values, it was showing me the BEHAVIOR's script local variable
values, and NOT those for the STACK, which were in fact still empty (not
initialized).
This is likely going to bite others in the butt in the future, who use the same
script local variables in their behaviors as they do in their parent script.
Who knows, maybe I'm going to be the only one in the history of LC to try this,
but I just thought I'd toss that out there, in case anyone else gets obscure
bugs where a statement ought to work and doesn't.
