That is a Clutter bug which I just filed:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722188

Because this is limited to Orca master, and Orca version x.y is
supported in GNOME x.y, before I add a hack in Orca to work around the
Clutter bug, I'd like to see if we can get the Clutter bug fixed.

That is because the way we used to present changes in text selection was
a crazy combination of caret-moved events (and associated hacks and
heuristics) and selection-changed events.

Now we present caret movements in response to caret-moved events and
selection changes in response to selection-changed events. And we ignore
caret-moved events when the text claims to have a selection.

Thanks for the report!
