Well, I do not know if that is true or not from a technical
standpoint. But from the user perspective the word is not deleted
until you type some new text or hit <esc>. Right after typing cw the
word is still displayed and it is hi-lighted. So I would not say it is
deleted. There is no advantage to the user to clobber the selection
that that point, since they may want to use what was previously in
there.
I just tried what I originally describe in a terminal window (ie
starting from emacs -Q -nw) and it works as I expect. The previously
selected selection is pasted in to the hi-lighted word after typing
cw. Just like it all previous versions of emacs (terminal or not).
