This is a bug. The bug is related to the ModifyFeature control not
adding its internal SelectFeature control to the map. How to fix the
bug isn't obvious to me right now. As a workaround you can manually
add the SelectFeature control to the map. In the modify-feature.html
this would translate to:

            for(var key in controls) {
                map.addControl(controls[key]);
            }
            map.addControl(controls.modify.selectControl); // added line

PS: please don't cross post to users and dev.
