I'll give you that, but both cases are still wrong:
The 1st select box selects the 2nd option of value "", very counter-intuitive.
the 2nd select box is actually CLEARED, completely unexpected behavior.

Just because the result is unexpected doesn’t mean it is wrong, however. :) .val won’t be changed from its current behaviour.
The second select box is properly selecting nothing since according to the W3C the value attribute of an option "specifies the initial value of the control. If this attribute is not set, the initial value is set to the contents of the OPTION element". So there are no elements in that select box who's value is "".
