It appears that in my case, the behavior is caused by show-paren-mode.  I am guessing that the highlighting of the parentheses takes precedence over the highlighting due to the visual selection, which is a little unfortunate.  If anyone is aware of a workaround, or possibly a different paren highlighting mode that doesn't suffer from this problem, please let me know!
