Well, my lack of AppleScript knowledge might have been the cause -- I was
able to solve the problem by explicitly using "*set* jump *of* lastShape *to
* theCanvas" (instead of simply passing it in through the hash):

*tell* *application* "OmniGraffle Professional 5"

*set* theHeight *to* 14.0

*set* theCanvases *to* *every* *canvas* *of* *the* *first* *document*

 *tell* *the* *first* *document*

*set* myCanvas *to* (*make* new *canvas*)

*repeat* *with* theCanvas *in* theCanvases

*if* (theCanvas *is* *not* myCanvas) *then*

*set* theTitle *to* *the* name *of* theCanvas

*set* thePage *to* ((*the* id *of* theCanvas) - 1)

*tell* myCanvas

*set* lastShape *to* *make* new *shape* at *end* *of* *graphics* with
properties {fill:no fill, draws shadow:false, size:{86.0, theHeight}, side
padding:0, autosizing:full, vertical padding:0, origin:{140.0, 175.0 +
theHeight * thePage}, *text*:{*text*:theTitle, alignment:left}, draws stroke
:false}

*set* jump *of* lastShape *to* theCanvas

 *set* lastPageShape *to* *make* new *shape* at *end* *of* *graphics* with
properties {fill:no fill, draws shadow:false, size:{43.0, 14.0}, side
padding:0, autosizing:full, vertical padding:0, origin:{85.0, 175.0 +
theHeight * thePage}, *text*:{*text*:thePage *as* *string*, alignment:right},
draws stroke:false}

*set* jump *of* lastPageShape *to* theCanvas

*end* *tell*

*end* *if*

*end* *repeat*

*end* *tell*

*end* *tell*


So for anyone who needs it, there's a bare bones clickable table of contents
generator
for omnigraffle :)

Update: looks like OmniGraffle 5.2 creates a table of contents when you
export the whole document as a PDF! Nice! (still think my script should be
useful :)
