How to allow selection via icon on dropdown

I'm using fuelux with bootstrap to create some nice selections via drop downs.

In the drop down I'm placing icons via font-awesome. I've managed to get the icons to render fine and when selected, the icon is included as selected.

My problem is when I click on an icon in an activated drop down. The selection occurs but is set to nothing. I have to click on either the text or white space around the icon on the dropdown list.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Here is a JS Fiddle that demonstrates the problem:

The code in the jsfiddle is as follows:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-12">
        <form class="form-horizontal">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="title">Title</label>
                <div class="col-md-6">
                    <input 
                      id="title" 
                      name="title" 
                      type="text" 
                      placeholder="Enter the title" 
                      class="form-control input-md"/>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="form-group">
                <label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="icon">Icon</label>
                <div class="col-md-6 fuelux">
                    <div 
                      class="btn-group selectlist" 
                      data-initialize="selectlist" 
                      id="iconSelectlist">
                        <button 
                          class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" 
                          data-toggle="dropdown" 
                          type="button">
                          <span class="selected-label">
                              <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-users fa-lg"></i></a>
                          </span>
                          <span class="caret"></span>
                          <span class="sr-only">Toggle Dropdown</span>
                        </button>
                        <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
                            <li data-value="a">

                            </li>
                        </ul>
                        <input 
                          class="hidden hidden-field"

Solution

It's a bug. Previously only the <a> was allowed as a clickable child element. Icon support was a recent addition. Please see issue and pull request, Selectlist is empty when icon is clicked instead of text label This should be merged into master with release 3.0.3.
