Are you sure it's not those ':' chars in the name? (I can't remember for sure but I think it's not allowed..)

I try this one:
...
<select name="ucResumeSearchForm:ucResumeSearchFormGeoBase:MXResume">
     <option  value="US">United States</option>
</select>
...

select name length is 53 chars - and print_r($_POST); printed
Array
(
    [ucResumeSearchForm:ucResumeSearchFormGeoBase:MXResume] => US
)

Sorry, I forgot - apache 2.2.8 installed on our server

Okey. Thanks a lot! The issue was about Suhosin patch and it's 
suhosin.request.max_...
suhosin.post.max_...
and etc maximum length constraints

I think the bug is closed =) I'm really happy

Great that you could figure it out on your own.
btw. It's always good to mention if you're using 3rd party patches / extensions. This would have been figured out earlier that way. :)
