| I've noticed the same problem in Lion. It's been frustrating. I often have to run the my scripts twice because they just exit the first time. Worse, sometimes the first attempt gets the wrong selection! If there's a grayed-out selection, say on the Desktop, and another in the "active" Finder window, I'd expect to get the selection from the active Finder window, but no, I sometimes get the grayed-out selection from the Desktop.
Worked fine in Snow Leopard.

I have a script that uses the following;
tell application "Finder" delay 10 set selected_Item to selection delay 10 display dialog "" & selected_Item end tell
If I open, for example, the Applications folder and select any item then run the script "selected_Item" is empty. If I run the script again all is well.
If I then open, for example, the Utilities folder and select any item then run the script "selected_Item" is empty. If I run the script again all is well.
Neither 10 second delay helps.
This anomaly seems to have started with Lion.
Any ideas?
