The word gets selected if the last word is within a double quotes or if the paragraph starts in the page itself. Otherwise it never gets selected.

Tested now in multiple firmware/books (only epub) etc. This is happening consistently for the last few versions at least. Wanted to see if it affects others/other devices or is it just me (Clara, epub, latest firmware here).
That has been in a bug in the firmware for a very long time. It happens for epubs when a paragraph continues from the previous screen. If the last word is followed by a single punctuation character, when you try to select the word it isn't. What happens is whatever would have happened if you single tapped that location. With some extra flashes. Selecting text that includes this word can also have problems.

I remind Kobo of it occasionally, but, I've pretty much compensated for it. And as annoying as it is, there are plenty of other things I want changed first.
