OK, my first solution (using context) didn't work out :-( but i tried another way, i dont like it very much, but it could help you out.

following my example .py:

from openerp.osv import orm, fields

class object_one(orm.Model):
    _name = "object.one"

    _columns = {
                'name':fields.char('Name', size=128, required=True),
                'many_ids':fields.many2many('object.many',string="Many Objects")
                }

class object_many(orm.Model):
    _name = "object.many"

    _columns = {
                'name':fields.char('Name', size=128, required=True),
                'sel':fields.selection([('1','One'),
                                        ('2','Two'),
                                        ('3','Three')],
                                       string="Selection", required=True),
                }

    def _get_sel(self, cr, uid, context={}):
        many_id = self.search(cr, uid, [('create_uid','=',uid)], context=context, order="create_date desc", limit=1)
        if many_id:
            many = self.browse(cr, uid, many_id[0], context)
            return many.sel
        return False

    _defaults = {
                 'sel':_get_sel
                 }

following my example .xml:

    </data>
</openerp>

you will see, every many-object created by an user, will have the last selection (sel) get from db. so its more of a workaround for your problem.

hope this will help you.
