This looks like another case of something that just came up on the list
-- altering the repeat variable inside the loop is a no-no and you get
unexpected results. The repeat variable is read-only. During debugging,
the IDE will apparently protect the result, but when run on its own, the
variable will be unpredictable if you try to alter it.
Change your script to this:
set the itemdel to tab
repeat for each line tLine in tOld
put tLine & tab & item 5 of tLine & item 4 of tLine & \
item 2 of tLine & cr after oldResults
end repeat
This treats the repeat variable as read-only and should work.

This is weird beyond measure. When I step 5 times through the repeat
loop below I get the expected results--see below.
When I allow the loop to "run" the first few lines are the second set of
results below. They are completely different and incomprehensible.
The purpose is to add a new database field which is a combination of the
street name, street number, and last name of the voter.
set the itemdel to tab
repeat for each line tLine in tOld
put tab & item 5 of tLine & item 4 of tLine & item 2 of tLine after
tLine
put tLine & cr after oldResults
end repeat
First few lines of the variable oldResults obtained by stepping through
the loop. Exactly what I expected.

(The results above would all line up nicely with the proper setting of
the tabs.)
First few lines of the variable oldResults obtained by running the loop.
Totally bizarre results.
