I've found a way: select an invisible file.
A quick test:
tell application "Finder"
set a to ((folder of front window) as text) & ".DS_Store"
select a
end tell
Which works! (by, somehow, what I'd call a bug in the Finder)
seems to work. With a little more tests, you can
test if a ".DS_Store" file doesn't exist and
find another invisible file instead.

In case anyone was following this thread;
Apparently deselecting the selection in the
finder window in Panther (OS 10.3.9) is not
possible.
Just did some trials here on a 10.3.9 box and ended with this one:
tell application "Finder"
activate -- if needed
select desktop
end tell
But I don't know if this exactly matches your
needs, as there might be some side-effects.

Thanks Axel,
Worked with OS 10.4.7. But with OS 10.3.9 the
item selected in the open window is still
selected (the window is no longer selected) and
a new window (the "Home" window) is opened.
What I'm after is for the front Finder window
to have nothing selected but still be the front
window.
