I just went to reproduce it and there seems to be something to the
order of how the lines are selected. I slightly tweaked the order of
the commands to make it clear what range I was selecting, assuming
that a-range-was-a-range. Sorry about that confusion.

If I do the selection from top to bottom, it does indeed work as you
encountered:

$ vim -u NONE
:r !jot 15
3GVG:g/5/d
gv

But if I select them from bottom-to-top

$ vim -u NONE
:r !jot 15
V3G:g/5/d
gv

I get the (mis)behavior I was seeing...the "gv" doesn't reselect the
available range.

Again, sorry I messed up reproducing that situation.
