This works:

This doesn't:

tell application "Mail"
set box to mailboxes
repeat with i from 1 to count box
item i of box is in (selected mailboxes of message viewer 1)
end repeat
end tell

"item i" is selected, and the error is "Can’t make «class mbxp» \"Applescript/" of application \"Mail\" into type vector."

Seems like a bug to me (vector ≠ list).

tell application "Mail"
set res to {}
set em to get every mailbox
set sm to (get selected mailboxes of message viewer 1)
repeat with i from 1 to count of em
set m to item i of em
repeat with j from 1 to count of sm
set s to item j of sm
if (m is equal to s) then
set end of res to m
end if
end repeat
end repeat
res
end tell
