I have finally settled on using the following

on something
 put the number of chars of line one of field "whatever" into num
 put " " after line 1 of field "whatever"
 delete char num+1 of field "whatever"
end something

Haven't verified this since I'm not near my Mac, but don't see why this shouldn't work. I believe that setting the text of a scrolling text castmember will move line 1 to the top of the list. So just read the current text and stuff it right back in, like so:

 
on resetScrollingText whichCast
   set myText = the text of cast whichCast
   set the text of cast whichCast to myText
end
