I did indeed have behave mswin set. Not sure why as I don't use those ways of copy, cutting, or pasting in vim. However, even after commenting it out and restarting vim, selection was still inclusive, and it was "Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim74/autoload/netrw.vim". Which I can't live without. So I guess I'll just set selection=exclusive in _vimrc, and if that doesn't stick (e.g., overridden), I'll put it in an easily invokable function.
