I think I agree with John's argument here. I don't use the mouse unless I have to and I don't use transient-mark-mode. However, if using C-u when calling remember, it is probably reasonable to have it paste the current region into the remember buffer. This would provide the optional behavior for those who want it, but wouldn't impose that behavior on all users. I also think this fits in with how many other emacs commands work.
