Right - the selection halos scale to the size of the spacefill, and if that is not on, then they scale down to a minimum value, which, as you say, is too small. So here's a way to do it -- not necessarily perfect.
set spacefill ADPMIN That's not visible, because it is the minimum ellipsoid radius. But it bumps the selection halo up. of course, then you have to turn spacefill and ellipsoids on/off together....
