selected is a strange attribute as it don't have a value. You can use this :

    def render_selectauthor(self, ctx, data):
        author = data.firstname + " " + data.lastname
        ctx.fillSlots("authorvalue", data.id)
        ctx.fillSlots("authorlabel", author)
        if data.id == self.idauthor:
            return ctx.tag(selected=True)
        else:
            return ctx.tag

and remove the slot "selected" in your template.
