I'd agree that either selective-display should be marked as deprecated,
or the problem should be fixed. I don't know what the status of
selective-display is, though - it might be worth bringing this up in
emacs-devel.

emacs (emacs -Q)? This will make it easier for developers to reproduce &
fix the issue.
