> I wondered if perhaps it this only works on some APs?

That is the impression that I get, the country code info is part of the
management frames transmitted by the AP, could be unsupported, not
configured, or mis-configured.

Should be part of the 'beacon' info. 
https://howiwifi.com/2020/07/13/802-11-frame-types-and-formats/ has a good 
overview. I discovered this exchange while observing 'on the wire' with 
wireshark. 

> Am I looking in the wrong place for REGDOM events? Is there another
wpa_supplicant instance that's setting things correctly?

It's the right place but wpa_supplicant has to interact with a variety
wifi chipsets with varying firmware/drivers in play, would not surprise
me if things are not consistent across the board. There also the
difference between NetworkManger 'user connections'/'system connections'
but that should not matter as NM passes the wifi info to wpa_supplicant
directly.
