My advice? Report a bug: `M-x report-emacs-bug'.

If it's really not a bug, that is, if either (a) it doesn't really happen or (b)
it happens but Emacs Dev thinks that CUA mode should do that, then someone will
let you know.  There is no harm in reporting behavior that doesn't make sense to
you as a bug.
