Mylyn has the following code that programmatically invokes a command:

 EvaluationContext context = new EvaluationContext(service.getCurrentState(), object);
 context.addVariable(ISources.ACTIVE_CURRENT_SELECTION_NAME, new StructuredSelection(object));
 service.executeCommandInContext(new ParameterizedCommand(command, null), event, context);

In the command handler the following code is invoked to retrieve the current selection:

 selection = HandlerUtil.getCurrentSelection(event)

This selection is different from the selection that was set on the context using addVariable(). It seems that LegacyHandlerService.executeCommandInContext() ignores the context since it does not extend LegacyEvalContext.
