Thanks all who suggested that, I will do that. I had not for some
reason thought of that. FWIW my workaround was a try catch :P

try 
{
   newSelect.add(option)
}
catch(e) { /* do nothing */ }

try 
{
   newSelect.add(option, null)
}
catch(e) { /* do nothing */ }

While quite ugly, it did work! But NOT the way I want to do things :)
