Add this parameter:
'select' => false
The solution is in the WordPress Codex Function Reference for wp_dropdown_categories:
The default value for the selected parameter is 0, but this can cause a dropdown with all terms marked as selected. To fix this, set the selected parameter to false, rather than 0.
