Attached is a patch that fixes the issue.

(The offending commit probably was 64b8f423: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nano.git/commit/?id=64b8f423.)

To reproduce, run:

  src/nano --ignore  +2 README

Then type: M-6  <Down> <Down> ^6 ^U.  See that the pasted text is not highlighted, even though we set the mark before we pasted.  Now press <Up>, and see that the pasted text now does get highlighted.  Apparently the mark is located after the paste.  This is wrong.

Now do the equivalent with Pico:

  pico +2 README

And type: ^K ^U <Down> <Down> ^6 ^U.  See that the pasted text is highlighted.  This is how it should work.

Bug exists since version 2.0.7.  Version 2.0.6 still did the right thing.
