Doug;
I replicated your results with:
tell application "Finder"
get selection
end tell
... with folder(s) selected in column view.
I'm guessing that you only get something in 'the selection' from the
rightmost window. Note that if a single folder is selected, you will
have a list of files in the rightmost window. If one or more of these
are selected, running the above script will provide a list with those
files (or folders).
There is an ambiguity, and AppleScript has obviously chosen to
interpret your script as asking for the list of items selected in the
rightmost window.
Note that if you select more than one folder, then the rightmost
window disappears, because you aren't allow to see a consolidated
list from multiple folders.
This ambiguity will not occur if you use one of the other types of view.
