Illustrator :: CS6 - Actions Deselect Paths On Complete

In Illustrator CS6, after running an action involving a Pathfinder effects, the resulting paths are deselected.
 
Steps to reproduce:
1. create a new action that includes a Pathfinder function, such as Unite or Divide.
2. select a couple shapes on the artboard.
3. run the action.
 
The resulting shape will be selected automatically.
 
This is new and very frustrating behavior. I perform many Pathfinder effects, as actions mapped to key combinations, then expect to perform addtional modifications which require me to reselect the paths again.
