as alias list broken in OSX?

Maybe my rememberer isn't remembering well, but I thought the following worked under 9.1.

tell application "Finder"
set alsLst to selection as alias list
end tell

That returns a list of Finder file specifications under OSX, not an alias list. It requires a repeat loop to get a list of aliases.

However, the following construction works as expected.

set cFold to choose folder
tell application "Finder"
set alsLst to every item of cFold as alias list
end tell

Am I missing something, or am I stuck with a repeat loop?
