So the question that remains is - if you switch between images and do another select with the same tool, why does GIMP need to Undo the first one at all?  It's got to be a bug.

No doubt it is a bug.

According to the documentation:
"When an image is stored as an XCF file, the file encodes nearly everything there is to know about the image: the pixel data for each of the layers, the current selection, additional channels if there are any, paths if there are any, and guides. The most important thing that is not saved in an XCF file is the undo history."

The XCF format stores selections, so I think it's pretty clear that every file should have its own selections and switching between open images shouldn't destroy them.
