I'm surprised: if you don't like transient-mark-mode, why didn't you write:

(defadvice set-mark-command (after no-bloody-t-m-m activate)
  "Prevent consecutive marks activating bloody `transient-mark-mode'."
  (if transient-mark-mode (setq transient-mark-mode nil)))

(defadvice mouse-set-region-1 (after no-bloody-t-m-m activate)
  "Prevent mouse commands activating bloody `transient-mark-mode'."
  (if transient-mark-mode (setq transient-mark-mode nil)))

Or even do away with the `if'?  That would not suffer from the problem
you're seeing.
