IMO, there are no such "requirements", and no bug to be "fixed" here.

Yes, of course; it is the normal, and expected, behavior.
Users should be able to easily see which text is selected - each
character. Selection highlighting should be (and is, everywhere
else that I am aware of) "on top", taking precedence over other
highlighting.

It's not just the chosen fix that is misguided. It is the belief
that other highlighting (such as font lock) should "show through" the
selection highlighting. This should have been tossed as "not a bug".
