The same error will occur in any application, not just the Finder. 
This will run commented but not uncommented with any app name:

         --tell application "Preview"
         set _date to "22-Feb-2007"
         date (_date as string)
         --end tell

Uncommented, the event 'core getd' will be sent

The error will also occur if you run this without compiling first:

set _date to "22-Feb-2007"
Çevent coregetdÈ date (_date)
