This bug applies to the current CVS trunk.
Moving with C-p, C-n etc will activate transient mark mode. Arrow
keys do not.
It happens with emacs -q so so it's not my .emacs file.
My config options are --with-xft --with-x-toolkit=gtk
I've tride it on two computers and it's the same on both.
Thanks for emacs!

Does it happen with `emacs -Q'?

That's strange. What do `C-h k [up]' and `C-h k C-p' say, respectively?

they both say previous-line. weired, aint it.
also,
C-SPC C-SPC arrows M-: transient-mark-mode
results in
lambda
but C-p C-p C-p M-: transient-mark mode
results in
(only)
also, using arrow keys when transient mark mode is (only) disables it again

In the current Emacs 23 code, I don't believe transient-mark-mode takes
on the value (only). You may have some stale files not corresponding to
the latest CVS, so I'd suggest trying a fresh checkout and trying again.

One other possibility is that your X server is sending spurious shift
modifiers to Emacs. Could you try setting shift-select-mode to nil and
seeing if the problem persists?

that makes it go away!
this is what xev prints for a C-p on my x server
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
root 0x217, subw 0x0, time 16366578, (702,581), root:(707,632),
state 0x16, keycode 33 (keysym 0x50, P), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (10) "\x10"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (10) "\x10"
XFilterEvent returns: False
0x16 = Button1Mask | LockMask | ControlMask
so it's my broken xmodmap thats causeing the probem, not emacs.
sorry for the false bug, and thanks for the help
