Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
use pose mode on an armature with mutlipe bones. click select selects a bon and makes it active. hit b and box select. note in the outliner and item view, the bones are selected but none of them are active.. this can foul up a lot of things.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
[Please describe the exact steps needed to reproduce the issue]
[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

It's not intended that box select sets active, closing.

hmm.. we might want to revisit this. if the user has clicked on a bone to make it active, then box selected a new set of bones (removing the highlight for the originally active bone) the UI is now displaying a stake state that is longer correct right?
both the viewport, and the outliner are saying that the highlighted bones are selected. but if the user performs an operation that requires an active bone, the box selected bones are ignored and only the last clicked bone is acted upon.

I suggest that last bone added to the box selection become active bone when using a select operation. lasso, extend, etc all have this issue.

No, active & de-selected is allowed.

interesting. what makes the click select+activate worth special casing then? is there some essential use case that requires a mismatch between selected bones and a deselected active bone?
