I was just trying to solve the same problem. I wound up modifying the source code a bit. Here's the new keyup_checker function. Take a look at case 13:

AbstractChosen.prototype.keyup_checker = function(evt) {
  var stroke, _ref;
  stroke = (_ref = evt.which) != null ? _ref : evt.keyCode;
  this.search_field_scale();
  switch (stroke) {
    case 8:
      if (this.is_multiple && this.backstroke_length < 1 && this.choices > 0) {
        return this.keydown_backstroke();
      } else if (!this.pending_backstroke) {
        this.result_clear_highlight();
        return this.results_search();
      }
      break;
    case 13:
      evt.preventDefault();
      if (this.results_showing) {
        if (!this.is_multiple || this.result_highlight) {
          return this.result_select(evt);
        }  

        $(this.form_field).append('' + $(evt.target).val() + '');
        $(this.form_field).trigger('liszt:updated');
        this.result_highlight = this.search_results.find('li.active-result').last();
        return this.result_select(evt);
      } 
      break;
    case 27:
      if (this.results_showing) this.results_hide();
      return true;
    case 9:
    case 38:
    case 40:
    case 16:
    case 91:
    case 17:
      break;
    default:
      return this.results_search();
  }
};
