I've used update on blur before with select boxes and would not expect tabbing out of a select box to reset my result -- I'd want tabbing out to keep the item I had selected with the arrow keys. For select boxes use of the arrow keys generally moves focus and selection together. Menus are different where enter is expected to select because up/down arrows only focus something but not select it. So for a menu, I would expect on blur to cancel the menu.
