I've added a test page for Steve's question:
http://dunck.us/2002/CSSTests/borderOnSelectElement.html
As far as I can see, he's right.
Steve,
Getting styling to work with form controls (such as select, input, etc)
has always been thorny, because typically the browser actually just uses a
platform-native widget and renders it in the page.
Because of that, sometimes the native widgets don't support the rich
rendering that a browser usually does, or the browser makers are not
familiar enough with the native widgets to make them work effectively.
The Devil's in the details.
