It definitely shouldn't globally disable shift-select-mode.  But the
behavior you seem not to like doesn't look like a bug to me (the
bug#19513 is indeed a bug, OTOH), and I don't see any obvious reason why
it should look like a bug to other users.

I don't think it's incompatible.  Maybe you don't like the interaction,
but I think it's just because you don't like shift-select-mode's current
behavior.
