Simple enough to press Shift-Ctrl-A if you don't need your selection any longer. Than what you paste won't end up being placed there. Sure, perhaps this can still be improved, but it needs careful thinking and a proper analysis of the current behavior and possible work-flows. A lot of thought and effort has gone into the current behavior. And I refuse to discuss such changes with someone who completely disrespects this effort and calls the placement random.
