I think that this is expected for transparent maps.  As far as I understand
it you cannot select anything that does not have a polygon behind
it
so your land use polygons, so I'm guessing your land use polygons are
allowing you to select the ways in the first example.

Transparent maps don't have a background polygon so you can't select
anything from them normally.

So I think that is just how it works and there is nothing we can do
about that.  If anyone knows any different though, please shout
up!
