Let me clarify: Normal and expected in terms of the design of the
helper.

This is completely a matter of perspective. The current design is due to
feature requests: developers felt that when array notation is specified,
it should act as a multi-select. For this reason, it does.
If you disagree with the design, you are free to create your own helper
to drop in as a replacement or to file a feature request asking for
different (optional) behavior.

Looking at this snippet, I'd say you should probably use MultiCheckbox
instead of selects; selects are meant for use with multiple options, not
single options.
MultiCheckbox would achieve the same result with more intuitive code.
