It would be of great help if you could provide some reference, through which we can verify this statement:

testnet3 was not reset and is doing BIP30 checks again

Thank You.

You can check that testnet3 was not reset by the mentioned block count by running getblockcount and then comparing the block height. Alternatively you can insert std::cout << ( pindex->nHeight >= BIP34_IMPLIES_BIP30_LIMIT ) << std::endl; and see what is printed for the tip.

Verified that the testnet3 chain has a height of >= 1983702 (as of writing this, the height is 2134101) and thus was not reset. On this chain, the BIP30 check is now always executed due to the second condition on this line being true:
