Grouping without optgroup.
In a (big) select you could have many generic options like "select an option",
or just "-----", each with a specific value. By selecting one, the user is
given a starting position, closer to the options she might need.

Subject: [jquery-dev] Re: Using .val() with <select>
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?
