Always delete items in a collection retrieved by Finale BACKWARDS, since 
each data object is just loosely linked to Finale by numbers/indexes. 
For example:

texts = finale.FCPageTexts()
texts:LoadAll()
for i = texts.Count-1, 0, -1 do
     texts:GetItemAt(i):DeleteData()
end

That sounds like a bug on my end. My guess is that I don't initialize 
the FCTextBlock correctly when it's created. I'll look into that.
