I'm creating a form with drop down boxes like this:

SELECT(*options, _name='q%d' % (q_num), requires=IS_IN_SET(['1', '2', '3', 
'4', '5'], error_message="Oops, looks like you missed this one.")

When  options looks like this:

options = ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5']

everything is fine. In particular, if there is a form validation error, the 
form remembers which options was selected for each item. 

However, if  options looks like this:

options = [OPTION('', _value='0'),
           OPTION('Never have the thought', _value='1'),
           OPTION('Rarely have the thought ', _value='2'),
           OPTION('Sometimes have the thought', _value='3'),
           OPTION('Often have the thought', _value='4'),
           OPTION('Always have the thought', _value='5')]

The form initially displays correctly, but when there is a validation 
error, it forgets which option was previously selected. In particular, it 
always says selected="0".

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Is there a workaround?
