It's possible that it caused a deleteion I did not notice, but I don't think so. This personal experience is not enough to convince me that it is ok to make self-inserting chars delete the region when it was activated with C-SPC. Different people have different editing styles. I activate the region very rarely; someone else who uses it more might experience more problems. It would be good to get reports from other people about how it affects them.
