I tried with the most up-to-date Scilab svn. It's OK for me (on Windows).

OK, noted ;-)

Not sure I understand you here, but you said you would detail this 
later, which is fine for me.

Ditto.

It must work without it anyway.

Good luck for the upcoming changes in the Tcl loop. I have already 
seen misc. improvements in the recent past, for instance there is no 
need for me to hit enter in the shell any longer to make the event 
loop move. This can be seen for instance when "Open source of...", or 
when Ctrl-F& inside a word in Scipad. However the debugger is still 
completely broken. Let me know if I can be of any help on this topic.
