Go to any X application (firefox, etc) with a text field. Holding shift, press the arrow keys and select some text. Release shift, and press another down arrow to deselect it.

This is because the other X application put your selected text in the primary selection. How is the behavior of Emacs' new shift selection different from the other X application's shift selection?
