Bob's right, you need to pass the message. Otherwise the IDE backscript 
won't get it (so it can't handle selections) and the engine won't get it 
either.

Tests with the browse tool won't do anything because the message is not 
sent with that tool. Right-clicking does work here to deselect the 
object, but only when done with the edit tool. A quick test shows the 
behavior I think you're expecting if you pass the message.
