That is a browser/internet issue that is beyond the Better Formats module.

What I find interesting is that without the better format module the browser remembers my selected input format

Well, you have something weird is going on with your browser then because BF doesn't go any where near that area of the web.

When you hit the back button your browser will do one of 2 things.

  1. Load the page from its cache. This is what most browsers will usually do. Depending on your browser and settings, it will choose how to handle form entries just as different browsers and settings affect what happens when you refresh a form page with entries.
  2. Load the page from the server. If there is no cache or you disable cache the browser will have to load the page from the server which will load the page exactly as if you went to the page for the first time. Which you have already described as working as that is all that BF controls.

BF nor Drupal can control what, when, or how your browser caches forms and form entries. The only way to work around that would be to store all form entries(also way outside the BF module) in a cookie which is not only bad practice but also insecure and breaks normal user/browser interactions.
