Pardon my UA aggro, in the future I'll strive to purify the data I submit better.

Ah, shoot.  I misread the testcase the first time.  It's using "div :after", not "div:after".  That's the same as "div *:after", and in particular sets the :after style on the <select>.  So this really is a duplicate of bug 464758.  Sorry about the confusion.  :(

Partially my fault; poor description on my part in 464758.  Thank you again for your rapid response & consideration.
