formattedValue from dropdown selection giving inconsistent results

xml format for the drop down:

<order>

<pref>

<prefVal phone="">Click to select</prefVal>

<prefMgr></prefMgr>

</pref>

<pref>

<prefVal phone="555-1212">J Street Location</prefVal>

<prefMgr>JoeSchmoe</prefMgr>

</pref>

<pref>

<prefVal phone="555-1213">X Street Location</prefVal>

<prefMgr>JoeSchmoe</prefMgr>

</pref>

</order>

I'm populating a text box with the selection (value bound to prefMgr). 

text1 =$.boundItem(xfa.event.newText)

What I'm also after is the text in prefVal (I'd also like the @phone attribute if possible).  Closest I've come is using this:

text2 = text.formattedValue

It yields prefVal's label, but it's the wrong one.  With every re-click, it continues to be incorrect, eventually sticking with one constant.

Obviously, I'm using formcalc, but I'm open to javascript...

Any help is appreciated!
