This is IE and not CKEditor problem.

Please note that although visual selection is gone (it is moved to dropdown) it is still possible to apply style to it.

To get back to selection without loosing it you can use escape key. If you click somewhere else in content area to close the dropdown it's quite normal that selection will be lost (not only the visual one)

I think ckeditor can work around this bug in ie, because ckeditor is so perfect on all platform.

The problem is probably caused by iframed floatpanel, this is why tinymce (which does not use iframe for float panel) is ok in ie9 mode.
