Please note that use of the value attribute on <li> elements has been deprecated for quite some time (HTML 4.01) http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/lists.html#h-10.2.
In my opinion, rather than trying to fix this issue, I recommend the OP use data attributes for storing values instead as these are more flexible. $(el).removeAttr() appears to work fine for other cases where value is still semantically valid.
(If anyone strongly disagrees with this, please feel free to reopen) :)
