 I found this lines in
"ubiquity/d-i/source/partman-reiserfs/commit.d/format_reiserfs":

        status=failed
# libreiserfs has not yet been packaged as udeb so the following will fail
         name_progress_bar $template
         open_dialog CREATE_FILE_SYSTEM $id reiserfs
         read_line status
         close_dialog
        sync
        if [ "$status" != OK ]; then
....

Could it be that as the formatting of reiserfs partitions is still not
supported in this version (I have checked 0.99.74 source code) the combo
box does not show the ReiserFS option?
