I checked different versions of Jmol (>=10.00). From 10.00 until at
least 10.00.36 Jmol only switches off the dots of selected atoms, not all.
This was changed somewhere between 10.00.36 to 10.00.47 (I don't have
any version in between).

I would expect that the 'dots' command considers the current selection
and would rather like this change to be reverted.

I think both options would be useful. Before you stated otherwise a few
mails ago, I just took the 'dots' rendering as a kind of transparent
spacefill rendering. For this purpose a recalculation would be needed.

Generally I would expect any rendering type, including dots, to be
considered for visibility. Maybe, if this would be easily possible, you
could make the renderings that affect the visibility flag configurable
by a script command.
