I have verified that with a custom UA string override for mobile.nytimes.com, the issue goes away.
I used an iphone UA string:

   Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 5_0 like Mac OS X)
AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9A334
Safari/7534.48.3

But I’m guessing that an android one would do just fine, too.

Santosh, would you mind adding such an override to the browser? The
relevant file is https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-
app/trunk/view/head:/src/Ubuntu/Web/ua-overrides-mobile.js.

Bug description:
  This occurs on nytimes.com, most other sites works but guessing others
  will not work as well.

  Steps to reproduce:
  - go to nytimes.com and click on a news article
  - long press and drag the handles to select some text
  - tap on another area of the page to deselect the selected text

  Expected results:
  - selected text should become unselected

  Actual results:
  - text remains selected

  Note, this works correctly in Chrome for iOS
