It did -- it disabled selection of any option text, since that
did not change the radio button selection.

Unfortunately, you encountered additional usability issues...

Actually, what is happening is that the option rows are being
rendered with alternating colors, i.e. so that every other row
is shaded. (The confusing effect is compounded by the poor
appearance of radio boxes in the default theme, which makes
it a little difficult to distinguish which box is selected).
We will disable the use of alternating row colors in a future
patch release, so that the "Continue..." option will no longer
appear to be highlighted.

This is the result of the 9.4.18 change, noted above.
Thanks for reporting this.
