I seem to have come up with a fix with mysteriously works with jQuery. I imagine you could vanilla-ify the code if you don't want the jQuery dependency:

/**
 * iOS mutliple select fix.
 */
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/(iPod|iPhone|iPad)/)) {
    $('select[multiple]').each(function() {
        $(this).prepend('');
        $(this).append('');
    });
}
