Discovered that (El Capitan):
With multiple monitors, when the main display has an application open Full Screen, it can affect how Applescript GUI scripting occurs on a secondary display.
Try this script when Safari is on a secondary display and something else is Full Screen on the main display.
How can the the script be made to work?
I tried set frontmost to true and then also AXRaise but it didn't help. Would really like to not cycle the Full Screen app to complete the GUI script actions.

Code:
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
click menu item "Reload Page" of ((process "Safari")'s (menu bar 1)'s (menu bar item "View")'s (menu "View"))
end tell
