Chuck, your guess was correct.
The following code worked in that I was able to click the down button
and cause the dropdown list to appear:
$ie.div(:class, 'dijitDownArrowButtonInner').fire_event('onmousedown')
But when I then try to select an item in the dropdown list,
'onmousedown' does not work. But 'onmouseup' DOES work. I think its
time to have a few words with the developer :-)
Thanks to Chuck and Wesley for their help!
