I had the same problem and simply could not fix it... until I got a bit greasy.
Now we are looking at the _changeSelectbox: function here inside the .js file.

Firstly to force the first selected="selected" to remove I added the following:
$(target).find("option").attr("selected", FALSE);

This is fine and should be included from the start. However I found 
specifically in chrome it would not keep that selected (even though in the 
inspector it showed all good). So here's the greasy part:

$("#"+target.id + " option").each(function (elekey, ele) {
    $(ele).val(value);
});

This actually changes the value of every option in the drop down  to be that of 
the option we actually want.

The immediate issue I thought of with this is that it could only be changed 
once, as the selected value would be the same on the second call and would not 
change. However it seems the values are stored elsewhere and it's all working 
sweet on my site.

Goodluck!

Hello! 

Also had the problem, fixed it on my own by adding the following lines to the 
function _changeSelectbox before setting the new selected option:

  var actSelected = $(target).find("option[selected='selected']");
  if(actSelected.length > 0) actSelected.attr("selected", FALSE);

Works in Chrome, FF and IE 9. Earlier IE versions are ignored by me :-)

Best regards

Just change prop for attr in $(target).find("option[value='" + value + 
"']").attr("selected", TRUE);
