David,

I think I see your problem. The for attribute of the label tag has to match the 
id attribute of the input checkbox. You have two input checkboxes with ids of 
"foo_bar_ids_" -- that's not really allowed by HTML, you should make that be 
"foo_bar_ids_19" and "foo_bar_ids_25"

The for of the label tag should match the id of the input tag -- this is 
actually how HTML works and has nothing to do with rails (see 
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_label.asp). I always thought that was counter 
intuitive myself but that's how it works. 

To do that, you specify :id => in the check_box_tag and also :for => label_tag 
(you happen to not be using label_tag, but if you were you could specify :id => 
)

Personally I never use HABTM, because I always find I'm going to eventually 
want to add a field to the join table which you can't do with HABTM. Use 
has_many :through => instead of HABTM. (but that is actually irrelevant to the 
problme you have)
