[JS,AS,CS3]running javascript in bridge from applescript

Question

Sorry for the cryptic subject description, and you might think this is a bit off topic, but i hope you could shed some light on this.
I need to execute a Javascript in Bridge from an applsecript using an Applescript. Bridge only has one AS command: do javascript with arguments.
My testtude looks like this:
set myJS to "
alert(arguments[0].toString());
alert(arguments[1].toString());
alert(arguments[2].toString());
alert(arguments[3].toString());
alert(arguments[4][0].toString());
set arg1 to 12
set arg2 to "some text"
set arg3 to "'some single quoted text'"
set arg4 to "\"some double quoted text\""
set arg5 to {1, 2, 3, "a", "b", "c"}
tell application "Bridge CS3"
do javascript myJS with arguments {arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5}
end tell
--tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
-- do javascript myJS with arguments {arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4,arg5}
--end tell
You would expect a series of dialogs to appear with the content of the arguments, but you'll get nothing! If you omit the '[0]', you'll get any numerical value, but all strings, however they are quoted, are ignored.
Strange.
Stranger still is, that if do the exact same thing in Photoshop, it works like a charm and you can pass any kind of data as argument.
Any ideas on what's going on?
Thanks!

Here is my AS script from Xcode project:
Some text is in Russian don't mind it. Most important that this is a
working example.
global myBridgeLabel
on clicked theObject
if name of theObject is "b1" then
  set processName to (StringToUnicode "Начало работы")
  set myBridgeLabel to "Red"
  set myLabel to 1
else if name of theObject is "b2" then
  set processName to (StringToUnicode "Сдано на цв-корр")
  set myBridgeLabel to "Green"
  set myLabel to 2
else if name of theObject is "b3" then
  set processName to (StringToUnicode "Сдано на ДТП")
  set myBridgeLabel to "Yellow"
  set myLabel to 3
else if name of theObject is "b4" then
  set processName to (StringToUnicode "Забрано")
  set myBridgeLabel to "Blue"
  set myLabel to 4
else if name of theObject is "b5" then
  set processName to (StringToUnicode "Пересдано")
  set myBridgeLabel to "Purple"
  set myLabel to 5
end if
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
  set mydocument to active document
  set myDocumentPath to full name of mydocument
  set workerName to "Сервецкий"
  tell metadata preferences of mydocument
   set theDate to current date
   set myWeekday to weekday of theDate as string
   set myDenNedeli to my convertWeekday(myWeekday)
   set myRecord to (processName & "  " & workerName & "  ") & myDenNedeli & " " & text 1 thru -4 of time string of theDate & "
   set myHistory to get property namespace "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/" path "History"
   set property namespace "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/" path "History" value myHistory & myRecord
  end tell
  set myJavaScript to "var myLabel =\"" & myBridgeLabel & "\"; app.activate(); var bt = new BridgeTalk; bt.target = \"bridge\"; myScript = 'app.displayDialogs = \"none\"; var t = new Thumbnail (File (\"" & myDocumentPath & "\")); var mdata = t.metadata; mdata.namespace = \"http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/\"; mdata.Label = \"' + myLabel + '\";'; bt.body = myScript; bt.send();"
  do script myJavaScript language javascript
  tell mydocument to save
end tell
tell application "Finder"
  set myFile to a reference to file myDocumentPath
  set label index of myFile to myLabel
end tell
end clicked
on convertWeekday(myWeekday)
if myWeekday = "Monday" then
  return "Пн"

end if
end convertWeekday
