I tried to reproduce this with

% select input in $(seq 1 1000); do echo $input; done

but it works fine for me on Lenny as well as on Sid:

When the "#?" prompt shows up and I press Enter, I get the remaining
options. When all options have been shown, it starts again with the
first set of options which fit on the screen.

Have you tried to press Enter to show the remaining options?
