I also can not reproduce.

SVM/BMP Images held in frames on the Writer document canvas simply are not multi-selectable. 

The object is handled differently in Draw/Impress where the <Shift> toggles the selection.

The other Draw objects "shapes" and "text boxes" on Writer canvas are multi-selectable with the <Shift> control.

Duplicate of bug 34438, rather. Better to keep track of how many users are annoyed by this limitation.
