I can confirm this bug in the build of PCB that I'm using (not sure when it was last fetched, but it was last re-compiled on October 5, so probably about then).
Load a board with objects that are on the "Solder" side (a couple of surface-mount components in my case), turn off the "Far Side" layer and all other layers as well, but turn "Pins/Pads" on for reference, then do a rectangle select over an area that includes some of those back-side pads as well as various through-hole pins. Turn the "Far Side" layer back on and sure enough, those back-side pads got selected, even though that layer was turned off at that moment.
