There should be no need to invoke mouse-set-region,
because <mouse-movement> already sets the region.
And indeed, the minimal change that fixes this problem
is just removing these lines:

diff --git a/lisp/mouse.el b/lisp/mouse.el
index 7d3ed9a0e4..933ad5181e 100644
--- a/lisp/mouse.el
+++ b/lisp/mouse.el

        map)
      t (lambda ()
          (setq track-mouse old-track-mouse)
-         (setq auto-hscroll-mode auto-hscroll-mode-saved)
-         (deactivate-mark)
-         (pop-mark)))))
+         (setq auto-hscroll-mode auto-hscroll-mode-saved)))))
 
 (defun mouse--drag-set-mark-and-point (start click click-count)
   (let* ((range (mouse-start-end start click click-count))

Then everything works fine: the aforementioned case
and the normal using mouse-1 to select a region.
