I think it is a race condition.  
When I have a Navigate action as well as a script action, some of the scripted statements, specifically _`system.perspective.sendMessage`_ ends up without a source to be executed from and I get a Warning log "_Received event for missing view_ ".  
I think the intended receiver can't trust a message without a source so the message handler is rejecting the message.  
Changing the order of the script and the navigate actions doesn't make a difference.  
The fix is simple: delete the Navigate action and put _`system.perspective.navigate`_ at the end of the script. All of the scripted statements are executed before the navigate statement takes the parent view away.
