Update 2017-02-14:
This can easily be fixed by changing this code (lines 62 and 109 of the script):

    set systemVersion to system version of (get system info)
    if systemVersion is less than "10.6" then
        log ("ITUNESMASTERINGDROPLET: incompatible system version")
        display alert SYSTEM_CHECK_ERROR_TITLE message SYSTEM_CHECK_ERROR_MESSAGE as warning buttons {CANCEL_BUTTON_TITLE} default button 1
        log ("ITUNESMASTERINGDROPLET: shutting down")
        error number -128
    end if

To this:

    set systemVersion to system version of (get system info)
    considering numeric strings
        set systemVersionNewEnough to systemVersion ≥ 10.6
    end considering
    if systemVersionNewEnough is false then
        log ("ITUNESMASTERINGDROPLET: incompatible system version")
        display alert SYSTEM_CHECK_ERROR_TITLE message SYSTEM_CHECK_ERROR_MESSAGE as warning buttons {CANCEL_BUTTON_TITLE} default button 1
        log ("ITUNESMASTERINGDROPLET: shutting down")
        error number -128
    end if
