It does, which makes me very confused :D. I'll take a dive into my code and try to find differences.

Actually that is not how insertstimulusframe() is supposed to behave (and it doesn't behave like that for me). The target is (supposed to be) inserted *after* the stimuli that are already present in the frame (the outer and inner squares). Here's a simplified script for testing purposes

<block myblock>
/ trials = [1-4=example]
</block>

<trial example>
/ontrialbegin = [trial.example.insertstimulusframe(text.target, (61 + values.currentsoa))]
/ ontrialend = [trial.example.resetstimulusframes(); ]
/stimulusframes = [1 = fixation; 70 = square_out, square_in; 91 = blank]
/ validresponse = (57)
</trial>

<values>
/ currentsoa = 9
</values>

<text fixation>
/ items = ("+")
</text>

<shape square_out>
/ shape = rectangle
/ color = orangered
/ size = (210px, 210px)
</shape>

<shape square_in>
/ shape = rectangle
/ color = black
/ size = (200px, 200px)
</shape>

<text target>
/ items = ("TARGET")
/ txcolor = yellow
</text>

<shape blank>
/ shape = rectangle
/ color = white
/ size = (100%, 100%)
</shape>

and a screenshot of the result.



I'm running this under the most recent Inquisit 4 release. Does the target stimulus show up on your system when running the above example script?
