Hi Graeme, I do not know an answer, but I checked and it's not that selected items always would end up on top...
This sounds very reasonable though... and helpfull :-) If it is not already there, it would make a nice Feature Request! There is in the Layer Properties/Symbology/Layer Rendering an option to 'Control feature rendering order' ... Ok, so you can make an an expression like: is_selected( $currentfeature ) which then makes your selected features draw last (on top). You could at least try that. I'm wondering if that would/could not be default painting behaviour?
