There is no guarentee that a control without a binding attribute will work.  One of the binding attributes (@ref or @bind) are required on elements that take single node binding attributes: http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms/index-all.html#structure-attrs-single-node

I believe that xf:output is the only element that doesn't have to have a single node binding attribute.

At least they worked ok. And at least we should have exception in js console :) :
Error: aValue has no properties
Source File: chrome://xforms/content/select.xml
Line: 622

Hmmm, might have been fixed by my patch for bug 355743.  When I look at the testcase you point to, I see two items in the select.  With an older build, I do not.
