I just did a test with the Horde defaults and a properly configured  
identity and it worked. I think I just did not understand the labels  
and it could be a problem for users as well.

Configured Horde Defaults: I thought it was a system wide account, but  
it seems to be the identity set as the default on the Personal  
Information pref page.

Why not just automagically select the default from the list and  
perhaps add a (default) next to it?
Something like this:
*Default Identity (default)*
Anonymous
Mobile

The user could select the mobile identity for activesync and If they  
change their default on the PI page, then the dropdown would be updated
Anonymous (default)
Default Identity
*Mobile*
