Error: Value 'new test' cannot be converted from Text to core.apexpages.el.adapters.metadata.VFSObjectELAdapter

I'm receiving an error on my visualforce page when I try save records.  It is happening on the subject field for Tasks.  When I checked the Task subject field, it is defined as a picklist, but even when I choose one of the predefined picklist values, I still receive an error.
