Reload cannot change the switchtype or the signaling.  The message is 
just letting you know what config options you are using that cannot be 
changed during a reload.  You would have to unload chan_zap.so and load 
chan_zap.so or do a restart or stop and start of Asterisk to apply 
changes to those options.  At least in 1.2 and earlier you cannot add or 
remove channels with a reload either.  I don't think it gives you any 
error messages when it does not add/remove the channels. I don't know 
what limitations 1.4 has with regard to these things.
