I don't remember they had to provide those GUCs:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/runtime-config-file-locations.html
hba_file (string)
Specifies the configuration file for host-based authentication
(customarily called pg_hba.conf). This parameter can only be set at
server start
The bug certainly is on PostgreSQL for providing the facility to
relocate the hba_file without providing any way for pgadmin and other
utilities to handle the situation?
