I suggested that delete-selection-mode could be the problem when you
first posted your question.
For minor-modes Emacs has behaved like this for a long time. You have
to read the documention. For example, global-font-lock mode is not
obeyed by Info buffers. That's not immediately obvious, but it's been
like that for as long as I've used Emacs (since 20.3 in ~2000). Emacs
allows you to activate minor-modes that may not make sense with the
current major-mode or other minor-modes.
I think others haven't had your problem because your setup is uncommon.
You want the region to work in the classic Emacs manner where it's not
visibly shown on-screen and it always exists. But, you want delete to
work as it does in today's MS Windows programs where it deletes the
selection. Most people want either old-Emacs behaviour or Windows
behaviour. Myself, I use transient-mark-mode but not
delete-selection-mode.
The documentation could be clearer though and a warning could be
issued. Perhaps send a bug report asking for a warning.
