But is it a physical difference, a legal difference, or something else?

IMO: If it’s a physical difference it should be a different highway tag.
 If it’s a legal/signage difference, it probably belongs in the access=*
series of tags.  Otherwise, it should probably be a totally separate tag.

Note that in some (possibly most) jurisdictions, a “real, official
cycleway” is not prohibited by law for others.

I would suggest that the difference between tagging for your two
examples is most likely legal, and therefore:
highway=path+access=no+bicycle=designated for the former and
highway=path+bicycle=yes for the latter.
