Ah, I see.  You wrote:

So, are you happy with seeing that in redisplay?

If so, the call of x-set-selection in command_loop_1 for
handling shift-selection should also go to redisplay.  At
least the current place is not good because it doesn't pay
attention to point-adjustment done after "finilize:" label.
When it is done in redisplay, that bug is automatically
fixed.
