I confirm the same bug, with Python:

    from com.sun.star.beans import PropertyValue
    from com.sun.star.awt.FontSlant import ITALIC

    doc = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()

    opt = (PropertyValue(Name='CharPosture', Value=ITALIC),)
    descriptor = doc.createSearchDescriptor()
    descriptor.setSearchAttributes(opt)

    found = doc.findAll(descriptor)
    doc.CurrentController.select(found)

Always select len(found) - 1

I search if bug is reported, but not found any.
