Type 'cat' in the terminal and press up arrow, enter, and shift + up arrow. Do they produce different codes? If not, you'll need to figure out how to make your terminal produce unique codes, or use a different terminal.
Otherwise, what version of nano and what terminal are you using? It works fine in 3.1 with the following use flags and urxvt, xterm or linux console.
(ncurses unicode -debug -justify -magic -minimal -nls -slang -spell -static)
Shift selections were added in 2.7.0, so Gentoo's stable 2.8.7 version should also work, but it lacks numerous improvements to selections.
