For the record, Jay replied off-list that "emacs -Q" has the same
problem for him.

This is not the right recipe. The first M-w does NOT show the region
by momentarily moving point to its other end, because the default is
to have transient-mark-mode on, which already shows the region. You
need to type M-w twice or more in a row to see point move.
Anyway, I don't see it on any machine to which I have access, FWIW. I
tried both unoptimized and optimized builds, on Windows and on
GNU/Linux, and they all behave as expected.
