This is also true for other object types without data being drawn on the screen [meshes,surfaces,armatures,...], and a single point in a curve wont draw anything...
Lasso also works, also works if you display all origins:

Lasso and circle select origins (see https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/editors/3dview/object/selecting/tools.html#lasso-select), box and mouse select geometry [T64251 is very related]

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) , @William Reynish (billreynish) , @Brecht Van Lommel (brecht): should we make box select also work on [non-displayed] origins? (As a TODO in T64282)?

This is just not a bug, it may be useful to improve once but some object are not visible in the viewport and as such can't be selected without origins.
