Venkatesh,
I wouldn't rush to call this a JAWS issue. First look into whether there is a syntax or IE-specific issue. I used the MSAA Object Inspector in IE on your URL you provided. I see that the accessible name of the combo box contains the options as part of the label as you have observed. JAWS and NVDA are rendering the label exactly as the IE browser is exposing it.
Have you tried moving the closing the </label> element around the on-screen label text rather than closing the </label> after the options in the source code. Be interesting to see if you get better results.
