I can confirm this bug and can reproduce with SPC q D evil RET (just evil enabled). Should report this bug upstream in evil repo: https://bitbucket.org/lyro/evil/wiki/Home
It seems that the policy of evil-mode is to only rebind keys that have a direct equivalent in Vim. Free keys should maintain their original emacs functionality.
Austin Smith commented on issue #675:
Highlighting of visual mode persists while in normal mode
Keep it as it is, because the package tries to be as non-intrusive to Emacs as possible. I think if Vim has an open binding (like C-SPC), it should do what Emacs does.
If a user really finds C-SPC to be annoying, they can disable it themselves easy enough. Although it is confusing at first, and should probably be made more obvious, somehow.
(For some reason his comment does not show so I've reproduced it here)
Given this information, I think we can tag this issue as a wontfix
