Code analysis
Yarn 1.19 mappings - net.minecraft.client.network.ClientPlayNetworkHandler
As you can see this is where the player is re-created. In this method there is no call to set the selected slot to the previous. I suggest the following.
Can confirm in 1.19.2.
Why should it be the case that the hotbar slot is preserved? Other things, like orientation, aren't. If keepInventory is disabled then it's extra silly to preserve the slot.
Map makers may trigger things based on selected slot/item, causing you to unwillingly trigger said system.
