I managed to sort it out. The manual says that the first option will not be
accepted by the validator.

But if the value of the first item is an integer and the values for the
other select items are strings, the validation will always fail.
Setting it to a string or leaving out the value attribute, will make the
validation behave as expected.

So if I have

"options"=>array(array("label"=>"Please Select","value"=>1),
			array("label"=>"Apple","value"=>"apple")),
"size"=>1,
"valid_e"=>"Please Select",

etc...

The validation will always fail.
But if I change the first option to
array("label"=>"Please Select")

The select box will validate as expected
