I ran into this problem when I wanted to have the user select
height_inches (height_feet done separately).  Here is what works:

        $form->field(name => "height_inches",
                                 label => "",
                                 comment => "Inches",
                                 options => [ 0 .. 11 ],
                                 # This could be "0" ;
                                 # which will otherwise bust validation.
                                 validate => 'INT',
                                 );

So set the validation as 'INT' and a 0 entry won't bust the
validation.  Sometimes this is a required field and sometimes not, but
that is set separately.
