I tested this:

1) create script only stack with this script (this works if run from a button 
on the card and a direct reference to the field name)

  command centerTextVertically
   put the formattedheight of me into tTotalTextHeight
   put ( the height of me - tTotalTextHeight ) / 2 into tTopBottomMargins
end centerTextVertically

2) save that script only stack as "sv_field-behaviors.livecodescript"

3) go to a field --> set behavior --> choose stack --> I see that stack 
"sv_field-behaviors" available.

4) set the behavior of the field to that stack

First Puzzle:

In the message box I run
"centerTextVertically"
Nothing happens: the text in the field doesn't move (should get a new top 
margin)
Why not?

I think of behavior scripts as private backscripts. So in your case you're setting the behavior of a field, but then you're going to the message box to try invoking a handler in a behavior script, and that handler can't be seen from anywhere except your field. Try

send "centerTextVertically" to field <nameOfField>

another way to do this would be to also set the behavior of the message box field to the same behavior script, but that way lies madness.
