 Since no-one else has done it, I've written up 2 bookmarklets for
 Wordpress 2.2-svn.
 I've tested under Opera9/IE6/FF2, i dont have access to any other browsers
 to test, however from what i can tell, it should work.

 Here is an expanded form of the bookmarklet
 {{{
 //javascript:
 function A(b){return
 (encodeURIComponent)?encodeURIComponent(b):escape(b);}
 Q='';
 if(window.getSelection){
         Q=window.getSelection();
 }else if (document.getSelection){
         Q=document.getSelection();
 }else if(document.selection){
         Q=document.selection.createRange().text;
 }
 location.href='http://*URL*/wp-admin/post-
 new.php?text='+A(Q)+'&popupurl='+A(location.href)+'&popuptitle='+A(document.title);
 }}}

 The last line can also be writen as:
 {{{
 void(window.open('http://*URL*/wp-admin/post-
 new.php?text='+A(Q)+'&popupurl='+A(location.href)+'&popuptitle='+A(document.title)));
 }}}
 to open in a new window, Both bookmarklets are listed in the post page.

 As to getting the current selected text:
 window.getSelection should work for Safari
 document.getSelection() should work for mozilla/opera
 document.selection.createRange().text should work for IE variants

 The total length is 388 characters for the location.href version, which
 leaves 100 characters spare for the domain name, and any other small fixes
 which get added. (IE6 SP2 has a maximum limit of 488 characters for
 bookmarklets: http://subsimple.com/bookmarklets/rules.asp )
 The window.open version has less space for the domain name, however most
 should still fit.

 The function A() had to be used to pull the totalsize of the bookmarklet
 down to within limits allowed by IE6.

 A Patch has been attached (Patch against SVN 4915).

 Finally, Here are the 2 bookmarklets(with PHP and HTML):

 {{{
 <a href="javascript:function A(b){return
 (encodeURIComponent)?encodeURIComponent(b):escape(b);}Q='';if(window.getSelection){Q=window.getSelection();}else
 if (document.getSelection){Q=document.getSelection()}else
 if(document.selection){Q=document.selection.createRange().text;}void(window.open('<?php
 echo get_option('siteurl') ?>/wp-admin/post-
 new.php?text='+A(Q)+'&amp;popupurl='+A(location.href)+'&amp;popuptitle='+A(document.title)));"
 title="<?php printf(__('Press It - %s'),
 wp_specialchars(get_option('blogname'))); ?>"><?php printf(__('Press It -
 %s'), wp_specialchars(get_option('blogname'))); ?></a> <?php echo __('New
 Window/tab') ?><br/>
 <a href="javascript:function A(b){return
 (encodeURIComponent)?encodeURIComponent(b):escape(b);}Q='';if(window.getSelection){Q=window.getSelection();}else
 if (document.getSelection){Q=document.getSelection()}else
 if(document.selection){Q=document.selection.createRange().text;}location.href='<?php
 echo get_option('siteurl') ?>/wp-admin/post-
 new.php?text='+A(Q)+'&amp;popupurl='+A(location.href)+'&amp;popuptitle='+A(document.title);"
 title="<?php printf(__('Press It - %s'),
 wp_specialchars(get_option('blogname'))); ?>"><?php printf(__('Press It -
 %s'), wp_specialchars(get_option('blogname'))); ?></a> <?php echo
 __('Current Window') ?>
 }}}
