Hi Jeremy, I've tried this on the Select example[1],

1st) draw a couple of polygons

2nd) open a console (I'm using Chrome)

c = this.map.getControlsByClass("OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature")[0]

l1 = this.map.getLayersByClass("OpenLayers.Layer.Vector")[0]

3rd) select features

c.select(l1.features[0])
c.select(l1.features[1])
c.unselectAll()

So the select method seems to work as expected on this minimal and rude example.

Cheers
