Stefan, could you please fix this?  It seems to be due to changes in
how mouse-drag-track handles mouse events: in Emacs 24.5, the code
handled mouse clicks as well, whereas now it doesn't seem to.  So
releasing the mouse button while Ctrl or Shift is pressed signals an
error now, instead of finishing the drag event.

The fix should go to the emacs-25 branch.

Thanks.
