jQuery Mobile is a little bit different the a classic multiple select box.

You didn't do anything wrong, you were lacking one additional attribute. Without it jQuery Mobile multiple select can't be created successfully.

Additional needed attribute is this one:

data-native-menu="false"

Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/dEXac/

$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#index', function(){    
    // Add a new select element    
    $('<select>').attr({'name':'select-choice-1','id':'select-choice-1','multiple':'multiple', 'data-native-menu':'false'}).appendTo('[data-role="content"]');
    $('<option>').html('Select option!').appendTo('#select-choice-1');
    $('<option>').attr({'value':'1'}).html('Value 1').appendTo('#select-choice-1');
    $('<option>').attr({'value':'2'}).html('Value 2').appendTo('#select-choice-1');    
    // Enhance new select element
    $('select').selectmenu();
});

One more thing, you don't need to use:

$("#a1_title").trigger("change");

It is a overkill in your case, you only need to enhance one dynamic select, do it like this:

 $('select').selectmenu();
