Hi,
I've just committed test files checking that multi-value selects work.
Setting default with $field->default(\@values), and submitting multiple values:
https://github.com/fireartist/HTML-FormFu/blob/master/t/elements/select_multi_value.t
Setting default with $form->default_values({ name => \@values });
https://github.com/fireartist/HTML-FormFu/blob/master/t/elements/select_multi_default_values.t
Everything seems to work as expected.

I'm not sure where your %cgivars comes from - and whether you're using
CGI, CGI::Simple or Catalyst?
