dijit/form/Select broken in Internet Explorer using Esri Javascript 3.7

Question

After developing a web map app in Firefox, I tested my code in Internet Explorer (company standard) to discover that the dijit/form/Select is misbehaving using the latest Esri JavaScript v3.7.

The issue I am seeing is that the Select will not update/change from the first option in the list when using v3.7. If I bump the version down to 3.6, it works as expected.

I've tried IE browser modes from 7 to 10 and am experiencing the same behavior between all of them. Can someone confirm they are experiencing the same thing?

                    frmTrees.addOption(selectElem);
                }
            }
        });

        frmTrees.on("change", function() {
            console.debug(frmTrees.get("value"));
        });
    });

});

Instead of creating a DOM element and passing that to dijit/form/Select.addOption, pass a simple object with label and value properties:

qt.execute(query, function(results) {
    //var frm_domain_area = dom.byId("domain_area");
    var testVals = {};

    for (var i = 0; i < results.features.length; i++) {
        var id = results.features[i].attributes.TreeID;
        var desc = results.features[i].attributes.qSpecies;
        if (!testVals.hasOwnProperty(id)) {
            testVals[id] = true;
            var label = desc + " (" + id + ")";
            frmTrees.addOption({label: label, value: id});
        }
    }
});
