In 10.3 the check mark to "Install Mac OS 9 Disk Driver" is indeed automatically checked. The "problem" is, it's possible to click on the partition instead of the volume. If you choose the partition you won't see the check mark at all (in 10.3's version of Disk Utility; in 10.2 the check box is grayed out). It's possible to format the partition and not the volume and you'll have no OS 9 drivers.
If you look at step #6 of this page (this is 10.2, but the idea is the same):
<http://homepage.mac.com/gaschu/help/os_troubleshooting/ os_10.2_disk_utility/index.html>
you'll see that the Volume name is selected (the gray bar) and the check mark for OS 9 drivers is not grayed out. If I had selected "Macintosh HD" in this same example, the 9 drivers would not be an available option.
Moral of the story: Select the Volume name (the icon that shows the drive's GB size), not the partition that is on that volume when formatting.
