The Path tool shows the handles of the current path but has nothing to do with the selection.
Well, you explain then why when I pressed select>none it was still selected, even on a duplicate, and was only resolved when I selected another tool and *then* did select>none
I don't know, but I think you must have missed something. Or it's a matter of vocabulary, "selected" meaning plenty of things, but having a rather precise meaning in Gimp.

Selected another tool meaning I pressed another item on the menu. Specifically I pressed Rectangle Select Tool

Yes but what makes a path "selected"?

If it's outlined in any way...have you seen the pictures I posted?

"Any"
To be explicit:
This path is "edited". To get in/out of this you switch between the Path tool and any other tool.

This path is "visible"/"shown". This is controlled by the eye icon in the path list
[attachment=3274]
This is a selection, it can be from a path, or created by other means. It is removed by Select>None or its visibility can be toggled by View>Show selection (Ctrl-T)
[attachment=3275]
This path is "selected" or "activated" (I prefer the latter since it avoids ambiguity). It is the path that will be used by Select>To path and Edit>Stroke path.
