Here's what I've found...
In Pages, selection is a property of the document, not the application, so you need to address the document. (Don't know why yours would work from the script menu).
But, the selection property seems broken, so using ScriptDebugger's Dictionary Explorer, I was able to get this:
tell application "Pages"
set the_url to contents of «class pSel» of document 1
end tell
All of these commands failed:
--set the_url to contents of «class pSel»
-- set the_url to get contents of the selection of document 1
-- set the_url to the selection of document 1
-- set the_url to the selection
This in in Pages 2.02. Are you using the same?
HTH,
ES
