I think this is harmless, the form won't validate correctly because some 
data is missing or something, it's not a measure of whether your 
metadata set works or not. I get the same error and for me it works like 
a charm.

The problem seems to be that you don't provide an initial (default) 
value for the field, it seems that if you don't do that Formulator 
somehow provides [] as the default value, which is obviously not in your 
list, hence the error. You can fix it by simply using one of your values 
as the default (so if the first value is 'foo', you can enter 'foo' in 
your 'default' field).
