Testing against the latest version from git(88bc2de), the problem seems to be almost fixed.

Taking the test scenario from my previous comment, the expect result would be:
aaa[bbb]aaa

But the selection changes to:
aaa[bb]baaa

proposed patch

Changing the gravity of the selection end mark from left (TRUE) to right (FALSE) seems to fix the bug.
