bug#23245: Status: 25.0.92; cua-mode inhibits deactivate-region-hook

quoted from my e-mail in emacs-devel which I was told not to post to:

I switched from running emacs compiled from the emacs-24 branch to the
emacs-25 branch a few days ago.

I just ran my previously mentioned test.el init file in the emacs-24
compile now and hitting C-g twice after selecting some text deactives
the mark and runs the deactivate-mark-hook (DM is printed in the
messages buffer) which does not happen with my emacs-25 binary.
