The first ST_GeoJSON implementation came with 1.3.4

The four parameter option slightly changes since 1.4.0 (with bbox set

as you mention if.
Do you refer to the right doc version ?

SELECT postgis_full_version();
To get PosTGIS version...

ST_AsGeoJSON doc from 1.3 branch
http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-1.3/ch06.html#id2577428

ST_AsGeoJSON doc from 1.4 branch
http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-1.4/ST_AsGeoJSON.html
