I looked at the code, and it is not obvious to me where this should be done.
It could be done in one of: revert-buffer, after-find-file, normal-mode.
I think someone more familiar with revert-buffer should work on this.
BTW, I noticed that revert-buffer does not deactivate the mark.
In any case, I realized that I _can_ fix this in cua-mode by making the
local variable holding the overlays permanent-local. Perhaps that would
be safer this close to the release.
