Yup, that's connected to the Returnpath feedback loop, rather than reputation tracking. They're allowing you to sign up for a feedback loop for a particular d= value and for either one specific selector or all selectors. When tracking specific issues it may well be useful to get FBL reports for just one specific user of a DKIM identity, and being able to key on selector seems a good enough way to do that, if a bit of a hack. It's not something I'd expect anyone to use normally, though. I don't believe that Yahoo are using the selector for anything reputation related, though, and I wouldn't expect them to do so in general. (Not ruling out some ESP-specific hack, if it turned out to provide them with useful data, but that would be a private hack rather than anything more). RP or Yahoo might be able to be more authoritative on that.
