Your problem is that the number property of the payload is an integer, while the query param is a string.

When you select an item from the dropdown, a numeric value gets written into the pull property. But the query params mechanism replaces it with a string. The dropdown sees the value changed, looks up a new value and finds nothing. It assumes that no value was chosen and sets pull to undefined.

One solution is to use two properties: one will store the original numeric value, the other will be a getter/setter computed property that would convert between numeric and text.

<form>
  {{view "select" content=model
                  optionValuePath="content.number"
                  optionLabelPath="content.title"
                  value=currentPull
                  prompt="Choice option"}}
</form>

<p>currentPull: {{currentPull}}</p>

App.IndexController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  queryParams: ['pull'],
  pull:        Ember.computed('currentPull', {
    get: function() {
      return this.get('currentPull');
    },
    set: function(key, value) {
      this.set('currentPull', parseInt(value, 10));
      return value;
    },
  }),

  currentPull: null,
});

But a better solution would be to introduce a model layer into your app. You'd have a pull-request entity with its attributes corresponding to properties of the payload. Then you can handle the number↔text conversion in the serializer, and your business logic will stay concise and expressive.
