Whoops, looks like Mozilla stuck the group name there by default.  :)

Why would that break backward compatiblity?  Apps can continue calling 
SDL_SetVideoMode() and possibly losing their OpenGL state.  It would 
just provide a shortcut for apps that want resizable SDL_OPENGL windows 
and don't want to worry about possibly losing their state.

I concede that I don't know whether it's possible to implement on all 
platforms, though, so your solution does seem more robust.
