When I read this the question struck me: how come AppleScript can 
handle this case just fine? It doesn't have any more info to work from 
than appscript (or does it?) but somehow it does manage to convince 
Excel to set the cell, if I understand the original poster correctly.

And couldn't a similar method to what AppleScript does be applied to 
Appscripting?
