"Form with multi-select yields single String instead of Collection"

Hey,

when a user starts a process instance in the jBPM Console I'd like to display a 
form with a select input allowing multiple selection.
I've got the form displayed properly with the multi-select box. However, when 
submitting the form the corresponding process variable only gets filled with a 
String containing the first selected value. Any other selected value is 
discarded, and I would have expected some Collection type instead of a String.
The form is a basic HTML form inside the <process_id>.ftl file:

<form action="complete" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <select name="list" multiple="multiple">
    <option value="value1">Option 1</option>
    <option value="value2">Option 2</option>
    <option value="value3">Option 3</option>
  </select>
</form>

If I select "Option 2" and "Option 3" in this example and then start the 
process the list variable is set to a String "value2".
How do I make it return a Collection with all selected values instead?

Thanks in advance,
Martin
