I had a similar issue with single selection lists, on powerpc with a radeon.
This uses the radeon graphical driver, and removing said driver and using only
plain radeonfb made this problem go away.
I am thus not sure how this relates to the multi-selection lists, and if this
bug is related, just want to add my own datapoint.
Notice also that Attilio mentioned that the gtk 2.10 based debconf-gtk solves
this issue, but we should keep 2.8 because of the BOOM bug, which is since
then solved i think.
