I added a DO-NOT-VALIDATE attribute that should enable you to bypass
individual fields in validation.

<select multiple="multiple" do-not-validate="true" ...

using the attribute appears to correct the problem you pointed out,
but i would still prefer to fix the underlying cause at some point.
it will probably have to be part of the next version of the script
(the 3.2.0 line). that's if i can pinpoint the exact cause.
