Mmm... good point, they specifically refer to voltage spikes below Vss.

Perhaps they are concerned about parasitics in long wires running to a
reset switch or something along that line. I regularly tie the output of
the BOR circuit directly to /MCLR with a very short conductor along a
ground plane. Can't see any reason to add the extra resistor...

Best regards,
