The firing of the on change event can be easily triggered by applying this fix:

For the updating I had the same problem. I fixed this with a extra function that I call after the original select gets updated.

It looks something like below:

function fix_select(selector) {
  selectedVal = $(selector).children(':selected').val();
  $(selector).children('option').removeAttr('selected');
  $(selector).children('option[value="'+selectedVal+'"]').attr('selected','selected');

  $(selector).removeClass('jqTransformHidden');
  $(selector).css('display','block');
  $(selector).prev('ul').remove();
  $(selector).prev('div.selectWrapper').remove();

  var selectElm = $(selector).closest('.jqTransformSelectWrapper').html();

  $(selector).closest('.jqTransformSelectWrapper').after(selectElm);
  $(selector).closest('.jqTransformSelectWrapper').remove();

  $(selector).closest('form').removeClass('jqtransformdone');
  $(selector).closest('form').jqTransform();
}

After you updated your select options, just trigger the following code:

fix_select('select#my_updated_select_box');

It maybe isn't the prettiest solution, but it works just wonderful for me.
