Additional info:
This issue happens on this page -
http://code.google.com/p/google-axs-chrome/issues/detail?id=28 when looking at
the Open issues drop-down.
Possibly, the reason for chromevox being out when it reads out this drop-down
is that a disabled option has been used to add "search within". The code
relating to this issue sits in the dom_util.js file - but has been copied below.
info = info + ' ' + (targetNode.selectedIndex + 1) + ' of ' +
targetNode.options.length;
The suggested fix, for at least the x of y issue would be to have the
targetNode.selectedIndex (if needed) and targetNode.options take into account
options which have been disabled - removing them from the count.

I disagree with the premise of this bug. The first menu item option actually
gets focus (you can up arrow and it gains selection) even though it is dimmed,
so it is technically still contributing to the total number of items in the
drop down.
From a userperspective, count announcement is useful because a user can
anticipate how many items they'll have to slog through when arrowing; (i.e. a
hundreddown arrow presses might make one hold the down arrow key or up arrow to
the end if the menu wraps, etc).

Unfortunately, this is still broken/not working in ChromeVox 1.16.0
