For some reason I must have missed it all the time.

We could simply try doing

(buffer-substring-no-properties
  (max (region-beginning) (point-min))
  (min (region-end) (point-max)))

in `deactivate-mark'.  But I have no idea how the region should be
defined when it's not entirely within the accessible portion of a
buffer.
