This post from last year indicates that AcroFields.setListSelection works
since version 5.0.1.1 (or thereabouts):

I have spent many hours trying several techniques to fill a form, but cannot
get the list options selected. The weirdest part is if I e-mail the file as
an e-mail attachment and preview it in MS Outlook, it shows the value with
the highest index selected and all the values above it missing/hidden, but
when I open it with Acrobat, it shows none selected. The second weirdest
thing is when I dump the form to XFA, the multi-select list boxes are empty
(<Reasons xfa:dataNode="dataGroup"/>). Please tell me what is wrong
with my current attempt using iText v5.0.6.
public void fillDataFromXfdf( String src, InputStream xml, OutputStream
dest, byte[] ownerPassword )
throws IOException, DocumentException, ParserConfigurationException,
SAXException
{
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader( src, ownerPassword );
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper( reader, dest, '\0', true );
XfdfReader xfdf = new XfdfReader( xml );
AcroFields fields = stamper.getAcroFields();
fields.setFields( xfdf );
stamper.close();
reader.close();
dest.flush();
}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
