Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! Please provide a reduced jsFiddle test case to help us assess your ticket! Additionally, be sure to test against the jQuery Edge version to ensure the issue still exists - we do not solve bugs that exist only in jQuery 1.3.2 if they have since been addressed. To get you started, we've created this boilerplate: ​http://jsfiddle.net/rwaldron/da3nM/ Open the link and click to "Fork" in the top menu.

I've put together a working test case based on the code you supplied here: ​http://jsfiddle.net/Gn2fF/1/. Please remember that the code you're using will set the selected option to the item with the *value* of 11, not the text '11'. To set the other item to be selected, simply use .val(13) in your test case instead. If you require further assistance with understanding the differences between setting selected elements based on option values or inline text values, please feel free to ask for assistance in the #jquery channel on freenode.
