AFAIK the installer just highlights the lexically last choice, in this case XFS. XFS and ReiserFS have had a lot of bad press recently so if you are concerned just choose ext3.
Yes, I noticed that some time ago and mentioned it in a post. I don't think it means anything. Go with uselpa's suggestion.
