"could not set the selected property" error in IE when manipulating SELECTs

Description

Internet Explorer (6, at least), seems to have serious trouble manipulating SELECTS, especially setting the selected property. If I use jQuery to add options to an empty select and then set the selected value, I get the "could not set the selected property" error, which core-dumps IE.

Another report (w/ sample code):
