Are you sure? I don't have the trunk available, but in my latest
Emacs 25 build, which is this, it is not fixed.

Repository revision: 6148555ee5a3d0139ae517803718b3e0357933c7
Windowing system distributor 'Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
Configured using:
'configure --prefix=/c/Devel/emacs/snapshot/trunk --enable-checking=yes
--enable-check-lisp-object-type --without-compress-install 'CFLAGS=-Og

The prompt text is selected by C-x h. The bug report says:
In particular, `C-x h' should select (mark) all of the user input, but
only the input. The prompt should not be included in the selection.
