It appears that the above is a workaround rather than a fix of the  
underlying issue.

Does `delete-region' have to be called from mouse.el?
Would it be possible to activate a keymap (cf. `cua--region-keymap')  
or to call `delete-region'  in `backward-delete-char' (or friends)  
instead of having a special case in `mouse-show-mark'?

Maybe in 22.2, and the workaround as above for 22.1?
