Which unfortunately fails at the make group command on other than page 1 --
presumably ID is seeing document 1 as meaning "page 1 of document 1" here.

So here's a version that fixes that and also handles the case of a single
item in the selection:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
 set {A, b, c, D} to bounds of page 1 of document 1
 set theSel to selection
 if (count of theSel) > 1 then
  make group at parent of item 1 of theSel with data theSel
  set {w, x, y, z} to geometric bounds of result
  undo document 1 -- undo the grouping
 else
  set {w, x, y, z} to geometric bounds of item 1 of theSel
 end if
 move selection by {D / 2 - (x + z) / 2, c / 2 - (w + y) / 2}
end tell
