I just applied this diff against my global vimrc file and it now 
disables the visual mode by default function:

$ diff -u vimrc.sample vimrc
--- vimrc.sample        2017-01-13 22:39:36.000000000 -0800
+++ vimrc       2017-01-18 10:51:48.020039000 -0800
_at__at_ -3,10 +3,10 _at__at_
  endif

  let g:is_posix = 1
-set nocompatible
  set bs=indent,eol,start
  set history=50
  set ruler
+set mouse-=a

  if &t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running")
         syntax on



I'm not %100 clear why it was setting "nocompatible" - but once I 
removed it it disabled visual-mode-on-mouse-click.  I'll be managing 
this on my systems via our cfg mgmt systems but it'd be super if this, 
or something similar, was the default.
