Are you sure?  I don't have the trunk available, but in my latest
Emacs 25 build, which is this, it is not fixed.

In GNU Emacs 25.1.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
 of 2015-12-10

emacs -Q
M-x
C-x h
C-e
C-y

The prompt text is selected by C-x h.  The bug report says:

  In particular, `C-x h' should select (mark) all of the user input, but
  only the input.  The prompt should not be included in the selection.
