You can achieve that behavior by selecting all visible rows before saving, then deselecting them after saving completed.

$(document).ready(function() {

        dom: 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
        "oTableTools": {
            "sRowSelect": "multi",
            "aButtons": [
                {
                    "sExtends": "csv",
                    "bSelectedOnly": true,
                    "fnComplete": function ( nButton, oConfig, oFlash, sFlash ) {
                        var oTT = TableTools.fnGetInstance( 'example' );
                        var nRow = $('#example tbody tr');
                        oTT.fnDeselect(nRow);
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    } );

    $('a.DTTT_button_csv').mousedown(function(){
        var oTT = TableTools.fnGetInstance( 'example' );
        var nRow = $('#example tbody tr');
        oTT.fnSelect(nRow);
    });
} );
