Due to a hardware issue, I installed 15.04 on a new hard drive and noticed this behaviour is different from my previous install as mentioned in this bug.
Previous system was Ubuntu 11.04 but updated through 12.04 and 14.04.
Upstream bug was closed as nothing changed on their end, so clearly there must be another configuration change in Ubuntu sometime over the years that changed this?

  Using Shift+left arrow or right arrow to select characters results in
  garbage on command line

Status in Gnome Virtual Terminal Emulator:
  Invalid
Status in vte package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  I upgraded my system from Karmic to Lucid Beta 1, and now I can't use
  Shift+left arrow or right arrow to select one character at a time.
  These keyboard shortcuts result in garbage on command line:

  - "Shift+left arrow" prints D
  - "Shift+right arrow" prints C
