What will this do in the use-cases described by Jan, where the

When mouse-drag-copy-region is t, it will copy the new region at mouse-3
time (it does not somehow make keyboard shift-selection itself do a
mouse-like copy...)
This is similar to older emacs behaviour for C-SPC active regions,
which would copy on mouse-3 extension of a C-SPC active region.

This is more problematic when mouse-drag-copy-region is t, what it will
do is copy the region at double-click time, not copy at shift-select
extension time, then replace-copy at mouse-3 time, then the subsequent
shift-select won't replace-copy the additionally altered region.
Now, maybe there is something more sensible that could be done, but what
is the best behaviour for mixed keyboard/mouse/keyboard/mouse selection
extension if you've just explicitly asked for mouse selections to do one
thing and keyboard selections another?
I wouldn't bet there's a large overlap between people who like
shift-selection and like mouse-drag-copy-region=>t in the first place,
but possibly the "copying-ness" could be somewhat sticky, so once it
copies owing to region change by mouse, it keeps replace-copying on each
subsequent region extension whether by mouse or keyboard in the same
activation? Yeesh.
