@Egmont,

You mean it will always be like this going forward?

Is this the feature you are referring to?...

f. New active mark and face feature: when enabled, it will highlight the text
   inserted by a bracketed paste (the `active region') and the text found by
   incremental and non-incremental history searches. This is tied to bracketed
   paste and can be disabled by turning off bracketed paste.

..or, is it this one?...

h. Bracketed paste mode is enabled by default.

If so, it looks like this "feature" can be disabled. How?

I find there is an inconsistency with this new approach:
If you've just pasted text, then highlight the text, the text looks 
unhighlighted.
This is visually confusing.

Perhaps this is an unintended consequence that needs remediation?
