I've noticed the same thing.  'Thread' functions work if they are in the body 
of a template outside of any functions.

ie,
<xwt>
     <template>
         // All these statements function properly without error
         xwt.yield();
         xwt.sleep(1000);
         thisbox[0] = xwt.newBox().apply({ color : "red" });

	 var someFunction = function() {
		// None of these statements work unless you put them in a thread
	        xwt.yield();
 	        xwt.sleep(1000);
  	        thisbox[0] = xwt.newBox().apply({ color : "red" });
	 }
     </template>
</xwt>

Is this a bug or is this the way it's supposed to work?
