That's an interesting one conceptually: should the last estimation
command be -bootstrap- or -regress-? Some of the post-estimation
commands following -regress- should allow for regression diagnostics,
while others, for the bootstrap diagnostics. Here's what Stata says:

. set trace on

. estat boot, bca
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
begin estat ---
01 - version 9
01 - if `"`e(cmd)'"' == "" {
   = if `"bootstrap"' == "" {
01   error 301
01   }
01 - if `"`e(estat_cmd)'"' != "" {
   = if `"regress_estat"' != "" {
01 - `e(estat_cmd)' `0'
   = regress_estat boot, bca
     -----------------------------------------------------------------
begin regress_estat ---
02   - version 9
02   - if "`e(cmd)'" != "regress" {
     = if "bootstrap" != "regress" {
02   - error 301
last estimates not found
02     }
     -------------------------------------------------------------------
end regress_estat ---
01   return add
01   exit
01   }
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
end estat ---
r(301);

-bca- option falls between the cracks. It does not seem to be a proper
post-estimation thing, as there is no formal bootstrap post-estimation
command in the sense of what -estat- could call. So I am puzzled as to
why it works, at all :))

Here's what you can do:

pro def myreg, eclass
  reg `0'
  eret local estat_cmd
end

bootstrap ... : myreg ...

Since that -estat_cmd- was cleared, it gives way to -estat boot, bca- to work.
