Sorry for the very late reply here.
The change in behaviour is what it is, but I think that users should be
able to get used to the new behaviour.
In fact, they might even like it more. I think there is something to be
said about (in this case) aligning ourselves with most other editors or
programs people use: Firefox, LibreOffice, VSCode, etc.
(This goes even for users that don't read NEWS: The words are clearly
highlighted, so it should be intuitive and apparent what is going on (at
least after a while): to invoke mouse-save-then-kill, simply click
slightly to the left or right of the highlighted word.)

That is a good solution, if the default is to enable it. That would
allow users to easily switch back if they don't like the new behaviour.
