Okay, this one is REALLY ugly, but it works. For some reason, moving the
layer's content forces the selection to conform to the layer. (This is a
trick I discovered in the GUI that just happens to work via script, as
well.)
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
tell document 1
set current layer to layer "Layer 1"
select all
translate layer "Layer 1" delta x 1 -- move 1 pixel right
translate layer "Layer 1" delta x -1 -- move back 1 pixel left
end tell
end tell
