It works fine for me on X/GNU/Linux.

Perhaps you could add code like this to mouse-drag-region-1:

    (let (event end end-point last-end-point (end-of-range (point)))
      (setq md-trace nil)  ;; ADD
      (track-mouse
        (while (progn
                 (setq event (read-event))
                 (setq md-trace (cons event md-trace))  ;; ADD
                 (or (mouse-movement-p event)
                     (eq (car-safe event) 'switch-frame)))


Then look at md-trace after dragging the mouse to see what events
were processes by emacs during the drag -- and then compare what
happens when you drag slowly and faster...
