Well, it's intentional in that the code explicitly checks .text and .value:
this.selected = (jQuery.inArray( this.value, values ) >= 0 ||
jQuery.inArray( this.text, values ) >= 0);
Although, I'm torn as to if your specific case warrants more merit. It seems
odd to me to have a value be identical to a different text value (which why
it probably hasn't come up before). Perhaps you can expand on the specific
case where this came up?
