I see the same as you on my current AE. I've been wondering about this
because my macbook pro never uses the 5GHz band.

claims: "Channels 1-13, 36-64, 100-112, and 132-140 approved for use in
Europe"
So I think we should be able to select higher channels...

but from: http://db.tidbits.com/article/10849

"In Europe and some other regulatory domains, you will be unable to
select channels numbered above 48, because all those higher-numbered
channels have to use a process that avoids interfering with other nearby
users. The base station may select one of those channels, however, when
powering up or restarting."

Any idea how one would go about configuring the AE for US settings?
(purely theoretically of course)
