I am afraid the pure statistics will not give us the whole answer -  it sometimes 
gives only very narrow look at the problem.  For instance, it does not care why only 
certain  words are repeated and  only in certain places. As Rene quoted Grant, we 
should look at it from the other end as well: what method was used by author to 
generate the text with such characteristics? Was the "word" repetition just a 
byproduct or does it have the other reason or meaning? 

Besides, only some "methods of presentation" create also so many  "words" where 
for instance only one character is changed or so many permutations  of the same 
letters in one word (that is not a typical feature of any natural language) as it is in the VM.
Combined with no appearance of "longer" words, for which we cannot find the natural (and 
not abbreviated or otherwise modified language), we can see that beside the new, 
unknown script, some other method of concealment was used as well.  Thus we have to 
probe deeper under the skin, so to say.
