That's because {visual} gF doesn't pay any attention to line numbers, and visually selecting a file name is designed to let you find files whose characters may not be automatically recognized by Vim (e.g. spaces, or if you've removed ':' from isfname and want to go to a file containing one anyway).

:help v_gF
{Visual}[count]gF Same as "v_gf".

:help v_gf
{Visual}[count]gf Same as "gf", but the highlighted text is used as the
name of the file to edit. 'isfname' is ignored.
