I was able to reproduce it with your file. If we can't reproduce it with a file created in 2.0, I wouldn't bother about this issue though.

Never mind, I misread the original. Easy enough to reproduce.

Currently, this is by design. Ctrl/Cmd+right isn't the command the go to the end of the current measure; it is the command to go to the *next* measure. But there is no next measure. So Ctrl/Cmd+right can't very go to the next measure, and therefore, adding shift to have it select while it is doing this has nothing to do either.

Could we special case the last measure of a piece and make it go to the end of the measure instead? Sure. But meanwhile, it's consistent. And Shift+Ctrl/Cmd+End works to select to end of score.
