Ok, so I got the selection property working (sorta):

set oldSelectionList to selection
set newSelectionList to {person id

set selection to newSelectionList
end tell
However I'm getting this error:
tell application "Address Book"
get selection
{person id "96BDA27C-7252-11D8-A085-00306573E42C:ABPerson"}

"Address Book got an error: NSUnknownKeyScriptError"
I've tried a million different variations on this... "set the
selection...", "set selection of application...", etc. Nothing seems
to make any difference. I have verified that the person id to which I
am trying to set the selection is in fact a valid id. ... Is there
something else to the language that I am missing?
No, this just looks like a bug in Address Book. Perversely, it has no
problem setting the selection to a single person, or even some sort of
range expression, but it chokes on an actual list. For example:
tell application "Address Book"
set selection to person "Chris Nebel" --> selects me.
set selection to person id
"4A4726F1-A591-11D6-B9F7-0003937618D8:ABPerson" --> selects me.
set selection to every person whose last name is "Nebel" --> selects
me and a bunch of my relatives.
set selection to {person "Chris Nebel"} --> Address Book got an
error: NSUnknownKeyScriptError
end
