Probably an oversight. ListBox also does not support option groups. However 
you can actually set a default selection when dropping down to the DOM 
Element layer:

SelectElement select = listBox.getElement().cast();
select.getOptions().getItem(index).setDefaultSelected(true);

If you have a FormPanel that contains the ResetButton and your ListBox then 
the ResetButton should just work. If you don't have a FormPanel then you 
have to implement the reset logic yourself as the browser won't do it for 
you automatically.


If you want to see an API for default selection on ListBox then you should 
file an issue for it (and maybe also provide a patch).
