Odd "End of Line" Syntax Error?

I've got an Applescript that runs fine on one Mavericks machine, but generates an error message on the other:

tell application "Google Chrome" to tell active tab of window 1

That runs perfectly on my 4-year-old iMac running Mavericks. On my new 27" iMac running Mavericks, AppleScript Editor highlights the word "tab" and says:

Expected end of line but found property.

How can I correct this?

Thanks in advance to all for any info.

Fix by running Mail.app while editing & compiling the script.

I.e., make the Mail.app scripting dictionary available to the Applescript Editor, and the "end of line" syntax problem should vanish.
