We have an integrationtest for something very similar:

https://github.com/primefaces/primefaces/blob/master/primefaces-integration-tests/src/main/java/org/primefaces/integrationtests/selectonemenu/SelectOneMenu002.java, https://github.com/primefaces/primefaces/blob/master/primefaces-integration-tests/src/test/java/org/primefaces/integrationtests/selectonemenu/SelectOneMenu002Test.java

At least it’s not totally broken.
