    1. What ist your Illustrator version?
    2.  Why so complicated?

     

    Please try it with a newer version (open document and one pathItem required)

    var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
var pItBds = aDoc.pathItems[0].geometricBounds;

aDoc.artboards.add ([ pItBds[0], pItBds[1], pItBds[0]+(pItBds[2]-pItBds[0]), pItBds[1]+(pItBds[3]-pItBds[1]) ])

     

    Does that makes sense for you?
