Hey Ronald,
This is the nasty Finder-selection-bug introduced in Lion and not fixed in Mountain Lion.
There are two reliable ways to get around it, and both are fugly:
tell application "Finder" set newWin to make new Finder window close newWin set sel to selection as alias list end tell
OR
tell application "SystemUIServer" to activate tell application "Finder" activate set sel to selection as alias list end tell
I use FastScripts instead of the SystemUIServer, since it runs 24/7 on my machine and runs most of my Applescripts. Some people prefer to use System Events, but I've found that occasionally when not already running it can introduce a significant delay on launching.
You can find a fair bit of discussion on-list using Google:
