When I wrote these tests a few months ago, they passed on the two
windows machines where I ran them (Win2k + python2.5 behind a
firewall, and XP + python2.4 at home).
They still pass without problem (except for some network operations
forbidden by the firewall).
Is it possible that the bot runs in a restricted environment? What is
the configuration of this machine?

I suggest to run the following test function, either alone, or
somewhere in the test suite Could you put it near the top of
pypy/module/select/test/test_select.py ?
It has nothing to do with pypy, but repeats the same test at the python level.

# Sanity check of the standard Python interpreter
def test_CPython_select():
    import thread, socket, select
    sock = socket.socket()
    try_ports = [1023] + range(20000, 30000, 437)

    for port in try_ports:
        print 'binding to port %d:' % (port,),
        sockaddress = ('127.0.0.1', port)
        try:
            sock.bind(sockaddress)
            print 'works'
            break
        except socket.error, e:
            print e
        else:
            raise e
    else:
        assert False, "Could not create server"

    sock.listen(1)
    writeend = socket.socket()
    thread.start_new_thread(writeend.connect, (sockaddress,))
    readend, addr2 = sock.accept()

    try:
        iwtd, owtd, ewtd = select.select([readend], [], [], 0)
        assert iwtd == owtd == ewtd == []
        writeend.send('X')
        iwtd, owtd, ewtd = select.select([readend], [], [])
        assert iwtd == [readend]
        assert owtd == ewtd == []
        print "Test OK"
    finally:
        writeend.close()
        readend.close()
