OK, I see. I think this could be changed by testing in the beginning of
TeX-electric-macro whether there is an empty region active and then
deactivating it.

Something like this:

(defun TeX-electric-macro ()
  "Insert TeX macro with completion.

AUCTeX knows of some macros, and may query for extra arguments.
Space will complete and exit."
  (interactive)
  (if (and (TeX-active-mark)
           (= (point) (mark)))
      (TeX-deactivate-mark))
....

where TeX-deactivate-mark would be xemacs/emacs specific.
I think for Emacs the implementation would be (setq mark-active nil).
XEmacs I don't know.

What do you think?
