It's part of my Big Plan.

Seriously: This is sort of roadkill of the support for \mbox, \fbox etc.
This meant I had to support real text within math. TextInsets do not nest
within math (the two hierarchies issue...) so there is "minimal text"
within math now. This also wraps the formerly hard-coded \textrm support
nicely together with all the other \text* things that are now available.

I think most of these nasty UI issues will be solved automagically after
Inset Unification.

Furthermore, the mark&C-m feature was 1.2.x only and undocumented _on
purpose_. Unfortunately it's a pretty neat feature, so the word spread
quickly ;-}  But as getting things into math is fairly easy nowadays
(i.e. by simply pasting the X selection) the price was not too high IMO.

Not at all.
