In some cases you might need to wrap your function to execute on document.ready and initialize the selectmenu. Here is my solution using Ben Poole's example:

$(document).ready(function(){
// Grab a select field
var el = $('#YOUR_SELECT_FIELD');

// Select the relevant option, de-select any others
el.val('some value').attr('selected', true).siblings('option').removeAttr('selected');

// Initialize the selectmenu
el.selectmenu();

// jQM refresh
el.selectmenu("refresh", true);
});
