Because of the way mdSelect dynamically binds aria-labelledby to the <md-select-label>, when an option is selected by the user or programmatically by default, there is no descriptive label telling a screen reader user what the select is for. See the "select label test" portion of this demo: http://codepen.io/marcysutton/full/ZYqjPj/

In VoiceOver, the native select is announced as "Animal Muppets pop-up button", combining the first option and the label of the component. The mdSelect component should announce something similar.
