It seems like zone updates on form elements are quite difficult to perfect in tapestry.

Yep, not easy. Putting a whole form inside a zone is trivial, though.

I simply want to update a select via a zone update

I guess Tapestry should have a mixin for that. I wrote one specifically for the state -> city scenario here: http://ars-machina.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ars-machina/brasil-tapestry/trunk/. Source code is in Portuguese but it's still readable, I guess. The mixin name is CidadesDoEstado, is applied to the Select which selects cities and has the state chooser as a parameter (seletorEstado).

and I'm finding myself attempting to work around the framework to get this to
happen.

I'd say you're twisting some components to use them in scenarios they weren't made for. Paraphrasing Howard, Zone is not catch-all solution for all AJAX scenarios.
