Ah, another chance to use my favorite command:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
 set {a, b, c, d} to bounds of page 1 of document 1
 make group at document 1 with data (get selection)
 set {w, x, y, z} to geometric bounds of result
 undo document 1 -- undo the grouping
 move selection by {d / 2 - (x + z) / 2, c / 2 - (w + y) / 2}
end tell

That do you?
