I thought it got fixed here:

2008-05-14 10:02  mha

	* src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c: Remove the special variable
	for open_sync_bit used in O_SYNC and O_DSYNC modes, replacing it
	with a call to a function that derives it from the sync_method
	variable, now that it has distinct values for these two cases.
	
	This means that assign_xlog_sync_method() no longer changes any
	settings, thus fixing the bug introduced in the change to use a guc
	enum for wal_sync_method.

Hmm ... or at least more or less fixed.  Seems like there's no provision
to close and reopen the file if enableFsync changes.  Not sure if that's
worth worrying about.
