The problem is setting the text on an empty HTMLOptionElement.
KJS has code for it (since the DOM forbids it, it's implemented in ecma/kjs_html.cpp,
see "// No child text node found, creating one" in that file).

Testcase:

<html>
<body onload="init()">
        <form name="myform">
                <select name="sel">
                        <option></option>
                        <option></option>
                        <option></option>
                        <option></option>
                </select>
        </form>
        <script>
        function init() {
                document.myform.sel.options[0].text="Hello";
                document.myform.sel.options[1].text="World";
        }
        </script>
</body>
</html>

Note that it works if init() is called directly (as opposed to being
called by onload). So it sounds like a problem with dynamic updating.
I tried adding a setChanged(), but it didn't help.
