It turns out this behavior is new in Emacs 29, see bug#40457 and NEWS.
Since the new behavior is incompatible with the old one, I have now
added a new user option, package-menu-use-current-if-no-marks, to get
back the old behavior, and mentioned it in NEWS. You can now
customize that option to a nil value to get what you want.
