The peculiarity of dired mode is that it puts point in front of file name.
So when the region doesn't cover the file name visually, it should not take
the file name outside the region into consideration for marking.
Exactly like kill-region should not kill text outside of the active region,
dired-mark should not mark files outside of the active region.
Especially more dangerous command dired-flag-file-deletion
should not delete files outside of the active region.

The problem is that this feature should be implemented in the macro
dired-mark-if, but then it will affect many other commands:
dired-mark-files-containing-regexp
dired-mark-symlinks
dired-mark-directories
dired-mark-executables
dired-flag-auto-save-files
dired-flag-backup-files
dired-compare-directories
dired-mark-unmarked-files
dired-mark-sexp
...
