MyFaces 1.0.9 selectOneMenu - possible bug

[Aaron Bartell]

I think I have found bug in either the JSF RI or MyFaces 1.0.9 
concerning the selectOneMenu tag. My problem is that ever since I 
upgraded to 1.0.9 my selectOneMenu's haven't been defaulting to their 
correct values based on the value="" attribute, even though I know that 
they are getting the correct value.

The below code is a very basic page that has a <x:selectOneMenu> that 
should get it's value from my UserCtl.curUsr.costgroupuiddefault. I 
added an <h:outputText> tag so I could see what value was being return 
to the selectOneMenu's value attribute.

I am now thinking that my jump to MyFaces 1.0.9 is causing conflicts of 
some sort but I don't know where, how or why. Does anybody have input 
for me, or does anybody else see what I am seeing?

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; prefix="f" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/extensions"; prefix="x"%>
<f:view>   
<h:form>
   <h:outputText value="#{UserCtl.curUsr.costgroupuiddefault}" 
styleClass="copy"/> 
       
   <x:selectOneMenu id="costgroup" 
value="#{UserCtl.curUsr.costgroupuiddefault}">
       <f:selectItems value="#{GroupCtl.costSOM}" />
   </x:selectOneMenu>

   <h:commandButton value="SAVE" action="#{UserCtl.updateUser}" 
styleClass="button"/>
   <h:commandButton value="CANCEL" action="cancel"  immediate="true" 
styleClass="button"/>

</h:form>
</f:view>
This is the output produced by the above code. As you can see the 
outputText is sending "17" to the browser, but I am always having the 
"--select--" displayed.

<span class="copy">17</span>                                            
                         
<select id="_id1:costgroup" name="_id1:costgroup" size="1">       
<option value="0">--select--</option>       
<option value="17">LAW - AU - 001</option>       
<option value="18">LAW - CG - 001</option>       
<option value="19">LAW - CG - 002</option>
</select>
