I think the function c-set-selection! should fix this problem:

(define* (c-set-selection! snd ch start end #:optional (dassync (c-sync? snd)))
         (c-set-selection-position! snd ch start dassync)
         (c-set-selection-frames! snd ch (- end start -1) dassync))


You can make a c-make-selection function like this:

(define (c-make-selection start end)
          (c-set-selection! (c-selected-sound) (selected-channel (c-selected-sound)) start end))
