I have tried your example and I can make it work : I just added the shutdownRequest handler in BOTH stacks.
The first time I select the "Quit" menu, the "shutdownRequest" message is sent to the "maintest" stack.
But, from the 2nd time, the message is sent to the "splashtest" stack.
Actually, it's a bug.
The documentation says the "shutdownRequest" message is sent to the current stack, that is defined by the defaultStack property.
The defaultStack property is always sets to "maintest".
Then the "shutdownRequest" message should always be sent to the "maintest" stack.
Hope it helps.

Consider the following two handlers. Both allegedly will intercept the "Quit" when selected from the OSX app menu. In both cases, with multi-stack apps, either handler (I only use one or the other) will only be executed the first time it is called.

on shutDownRequest
answer information "Are you sure you want to quit?" with "Quit" or "Don't Quit" as sheet
if it is "Quit" then pass shutDownRequest
end shutDownRequest

on appleEvent theClass,theID
if theClass is "aevt" and theID is "quit" then
answer information "Are you sure you want to quit?" with "Quit" or "Don't Quit" as sheet
if it is "Quit" then pass appleEvent
end if
end appleEvent

I can reproduce this "works only the first time" behavior. Here is how I did it:
1. Create a stack. Let's call it "splashtest". Save it as "splashtest.rev". Add this handler to the stack script:
on openStack wait 2 seconds -- so we can see we're here hide this stack go stack "maintest.rev" end openStack
2. Save and close the stack.
3. Now create that "maintest" stack and save it in a file named "maintest.rev". Add this handler to the stack script:
on shutDownRequest answer information "Quit?" with "Quit" or "Cancel" if it is "Quit" then pass shutDownRequest end onShutDownRequest
4. Save and close the stack.
5. Create a Distribution using "splashtest.rev" as the main stack to which the engine will be attached. Add "maintest.rev" to the distribution, as well. Make sure you check the Answer Dialog inclusion. Build it.
6. Run the app. Select "Quit" from the app menu. You'll get the confirmation dialog. Click "Cancel" and the app will stay running. Select "Quit" from the app menu again. The app will just quit.
QED. This is an OSX bug. I have the stacks and the compiled app I can eMail to anyone who is interested.
