Core-menu selected value not displaying in paper-dropdown in Safari (Polymer 0.5.4)

[Kelly St. John]

I am using polymer 0.5.4 and I'm noticing that the user's core-menu selection does not display in paper-dropdown in Safari.  In other words, the dropdown control appears fine and the pop-up/overlay showing the appropriate dropdown options displays just fine when expanded, but if the user selects one of the dropdown options, the selected value is not showing in the paper-dropdown.  Has anyone encountered this and know the solution for this version of Polymer?  I'm assuming it isn't something specific to what I have done, as I see the issue may have already been eluded to in an existing reported git issue (https://github.com/Polymer/paper-dropdown-menu/issues/43), but just in case here are the pertinent code excerpts of my code for your review:

<template if="{{controlType == 'dropdown'}}">

    <div vertical layout>
        <span id="dropdownLabel">{{controlLabel}}</span>
        <div horizontal layout>
            <paper-dropdown-menu id="{{controlId}}" label=""> 
                <paper-dropdown class="dropdown" halign="right" layered>
                    <core-menu class="menu" selected="{{selectedValue}}" valueattr="id" on-core-select="{{ valueSelected }}">
                        <template repeat="{{value, i in controlDropdownOptions}}">
                            <paper-item id="{{value.id}}">
                                <template if="{{value.iconPath}}">
                                    <core-icon src="{{value.iconPath}}"></core-icon>&nbsp;&nbsp;
                                </template>
                                {{value.label}}
                            </paper-item>
                        </template>
                    </core-menu>
                </paper-dropdown>
            </paper-dropdown-menu>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>


valueSelected: function(e, detail, sender) {
    /* Event designed to listen for dropdown box selection changes.
    if (detail.isSelected) {
        // Pass to the listener an object representing the property that was changed by this element
        this.fire('property-change', {newProperty: this.propertyChanged(sender)});
    }
}

Just checking up on this issue.  Has anybody run into the same 'blank' dropdown selection problem in Safari using Polymer 0.5.4?

Any guidance (other than suggesting to upgrade polymer because I can't at the moment), would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!
