That's true for version 4 but it's been improved in the current v5 beta.

quote: Update selection - multiple select. If multiple select only with shift key is enabled don't clear selection if ctrl is down so that Ctrl+drag will still work as a deselection window. Fixes bug reported on the forum by Viewbyte here:

There is no conflict that I'm aware of. Clicking in empty space to deselect works the same whether Multiple selection = "Only with Shift key" or Multiple selection = "Always".
The default is "Always" because one of the earliest design goals for MoI was to be able to do basic operations in it without needing to touch the keyboard at all. It's one of the things that gives MoI some of its unusual traits.
