And this seems to be because `C-M-w' works by setting `last-command' to
`kill-region' to signal that the next `copy-region-as-kill' should
append.  However, when dragging a region, `last-command' ends up being
nil by the time we reach `copy-region-as-kill' -- presumably because we
clear it somewhere in the mouse handling?

Anybody have any ideas how to fix this, if we want to fix this?
