It's not broken after all, I think.
While it doesn't seem to do what you want in the Finder, put a text file in
your Documents folder and try:

tell application "SimpleText" -- or whatever (except Finder, I guess)
activate
display selector from (path to startup disk as string) & ,
"Documents:" of type "TEXT" with prompt "Open" for file ,
without navigation services and invisibles
set mychoice to result
open mychoice
end tell
