My test and conclusions are valid. Their implication and result is that the line I highlighted in your script below will cause your repeat loop NEVER to terminate. You see, the message(s) "dataAdded" are only queued by the read handler, not executed until the entire mouseUp completes. My own script also queues messages in the same way, but completes, after which all the queued messages (one for each read with data) are then successively run.
This, of course, is Gary's problem as well. How to write an efficient input loop which can receive data fast, process it, and do so in the background so it will also respond to user commands (I presume).

snip
on mouseUpsnip
global sname
put zero into lcounter
repeat 10
read from socket sname until return with message "dataAdded"
add 1 to lcounter
wait until lcCounter = (lcCounter -1) with messages ##this is the block
put lcounter into field "f2"
end repeat
end mouseUp
