I don't think this is possible. AppleScript support for rich text is really bad, because there does not exist a built-in type for rich text. So when it's evaluated or assigned to a variable it will be coerced to plain text. To add insult to injury, the "set the clipboard" command provided by Apple cannot handle object specifiers (references), so there's really no way to put rich text on the clipboard using AppleScript. The only thing I can advice is to file a bug report with Apple (I will) and hope that in the next OS version things will actually work (though chances are close to zero, perhaps 10.7).
