Comment:

 Again, checkboxes is the way to go.  Just wanted to defend the core,
 though.  The behavior you're seeing is because you need two square
 brackets after a multiple select field name to tell php to treat the field
 as an array.

 {{{
 <select multiple="multiple" name="<?php echo
 $this->get_field_name('options'); ?>[]">
 }}}
