Temporary workaround for anyone else having this issue:

function coerce_array_to_value( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
  if (
    $field['return_format'] === 'value' &&
    !$field['multiple'] &&
    is_array( $value ) &&
    array_key_exists( 0, $value )
  ) {
    $value = $value[0];
  }

  return $value;
}

add_filter( 'acf/load_value/type=select', array( $this, 'coerce_array_to_value' ), 10, 3 );
