This problem is intermittent.  When it happens the Finder appears to lose track of which window is frontmost, and usually the list returned by selection is from the window in back of the front window.

This can cause some very unexpected results if there is a selection in that window...

Yes, this is exactly what I've seen happening. When it intermittently fails, either there's no selection so the script exits, or there's a selection in the "back" window, and that's what gets incorrectly processed. I will file a bug report. It will probably get closed as a duplicate but I'll file it anyway.
