alias list broken ?

Subject: alias list broken ?

Hello

I don't remember reading something about that.

When I ran this simple script under Lion :

tell application "Finder"

set selected to (get the selection) as alias list

item 1 of selected

end tell

I assumed that the result would be an alias.

Alas, I got :

tell application "Finder"

get selection

--> {document file "aa copie 2.rtf" of folder "Desktop" of folder "yvankoenig" of folder "Users" of startup disk, document file "aa copie 3.rtf" of folder "Desktop" of folder "yvankoenig" of folder "Users" of startup disk}

end tell

Résultat :

document file "aa copie 2.rtf" of folder "Desktop" of folder "yvankoenig" of folder "Users" of startup disk of application "Finder"

which is exactly what is returned without the "as alias list coercion".

Is it a documented behavior ?
