In this case[1], I think when the text is selected, the color of the decoration should change to the color that is specified in ::selection.

It's not just color; the testcase in comment 1 has

  ::-moz-selection {
    color: red;
    background: yellow;
    text-decoration: overline red;
  }

but when I select some of the text, it remains underlined (not overlined).

It looks like text-decoration is not being respected at all in ::-moz-selection, although https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::selection doesn't mention any such limitation.

(...) text-decoration is not being respected at all in ::-moz-selection

I filed bug 1612598 on that.
