I've now made this change in Emacs 27.

As for `v' removing the marks -- it's done that since forever, as far as
I can see, and it's done on purpose, so I think making it stop doing
that might be a behavioural change that won't be welcome.

But I don't know -- does anybody have an opinion?  It's trivial to fix.
