Additional Information
This behavior is working as designed and documented: "turn the toggle button off to process all records in the layer or table. For example, if a layer with a definition query has a selection applied, turning off the toggle button means the tool will use all records, not only those defined by the definition query." The same applies for layers constructed from the Make Layer From Selected Features command, which creates an internal definition query. Disabling the toggle is equivalent to using the entire dataset as input.
