That's not how I see it... ntfsfix behaves differently when it is run _after_ the failed Vista boot *because Vista marks the partition dirty*, but it is still ntfsfix that "fixes" the real problem which triggers Vista to run chkdsk on its next boot. If you run ntfsfix after the resize, but _before_ booting Vista, it effectively does nothing as the partition is not marked "dirty".
