Selects have weird option tag (ex. <option value="? string:30 ?" />) when model has data

[jhachey]

If the select input's model contains data, then angular creates an odd option tag with a cryptic value and no label.

Example: <option value="? string:30 ?" />

This results in a blank option being displayed at the top of the option list. Strange enough, this option will then disappear once another option is selected in the browser.

I don't see an actual resolution at that link, though the issue seems to be similar. Could you elaborate further?
