I did some investigation on this bug but was not able to reproduce it
on my version of Emacs:

In GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.4.14)
 of 2005-09-18 on localhost
X server distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.60802000
configured using `configure '--with-gtk''

Here is what I did:

emacs -Q

M-x recentf-mode
I opened emacs/lisp/recentf.el
I highlighted a region by dragging the mouse-1.
M-: (list (region-beginning) (region-end)) ==> (1 57)
M-x recentf-open-files
q (to quit the dialog)
The region is no more highlighted but
M-: (list (region-beginning) (region-end)) ==> (1 57)

I observe a similar behavior with C-x C-b.  As soon as the buffer list
is popped up the region is no more highlighted but
M-: (list (region-beginning) (region-end)) ==> (1 57)

So I have no idea how to fix that.  Do other people observe the that
behavior?

Sincerely,
David
