Not exactly sure of the sequence here, but I think that was before pg_stat_bgwriter was introduced. That was late in the 8.3 cycle and one of the primary things I'd like have a good way to reset. I'll dig back to the commit that wiped out stats_reset_on_server_stat and see what it used to do. I might suggest something that puts something similar back, perhaps with a more targeted UI given that pg_stat_reset has taken over its original primary function.
