Workaround

Instead of using the layer object to gather the extent, use the data frame properties by first zooming to the selected features then reading the extent of the data frame. For example:>>> map = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("current")>>> df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(map)[0]>>> df.zoomToSelectedFeatures()>>> extent = df.extent>>> print extent
