The test case is intended to fail because the association between the drop-down list and its label is not explicit but based on physical location.

“Rules” refer to success criteria in WCAG 2.0, checkpoints in WCAG 1.0 and similar requirements.
The test case fails the following success criterion : http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20070517/Overview.html#ensure-compat-rsv.
Assistive technology may make an incorrect guess regarding the label of the drop-down list.
