Hum, good point.

Firefox on linux, scenario 1: 
1) select some text in the page.
2) right click somewhere else
[the original selection if kept]
3) dismiss the context menu by left clicking the elsewhere in the page, outside the selection boundary
[the original selection is kept]

Firefox on linux, scenario 2: 
1) select some text in the page.
2) right click somewhere else
[the original selection if kept]
3) dismiss the context menu by pressing ESC
[the original selection is kept]

I do not have a Mac handy to test though.
