Thanks for the reference, I can confirm it's caused by changes in
bug#32173 a month ago.  I reported a new bug#32673, but maybe it can be
merged with the already archived bug#32173.

This bug is a clear indication that delete-selection-mode needs to be moved
to simple.el where it will fit near shift-select-mode and transient-mark-mode.
