In the past, M-= ignored `mark-even-if-inactive' even though it was
working with the region, so arguably the new behavior is more correct.
It doesn't seem clean to make an exception for this particular usage of
the inactive mark, but not others.
Seems like what you want is `count-words', not `count-words-region'.
