I get a list of Finder references instead of a list of aliases, and
since there's no error, a try block is useless.
That's why I said it's not really a coercion. It's not getting some
data back and coercing it; it's really a way of telling the Finder what
form to return some info in. Think of "the clipboard as text" -- that's
similarly not really a coercion either.
And because it's not really an AS coercion, it presumably has to be
hard wired where it works, and I suspect that was only done in a
limited way.
