I've resolved something like this problem before by inserting osascript into the TCC.db using tccutil.py

After installing I linked tccutil.py into the path.

sudo ln -s /source/tccutil/tccutil.py /usr/bin/tccutil.py 

ls -l /usr/bin/tccutil.py 
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  26 30 Dec 14:57 /usr/bin/tccutil.py -> /source/tccutil/tccutil.py

Then to allow osascript access to control your computer use the following compand

sudo tccutil.py --insert /usr/bin/osascript

I even added the script when the problem happened again later on.

sudo tccutil.py --insert $(pwd)/transcribe-audio-to-text.js

That failed so I rebooted which worked :-)

transcribe-audio-to-text.js currently uses System Events to make TextEdit be able to save a text file. It's part of virtual assistant which is very alpha at 20160105 but the source is interesting. virtual-assistant
