Anecdotally, I've noticed the same thing on wired networks. The gige chipset on the Mac G4 notebooks will work at 100TX with one wire on the receive end and I've heard well beyond the noise level permitted in the spec. I find this with all things that are backwards compatible. If it can do some new standard that will work over the existing physical layer (wether it be twisted pair or 2.4Ghz radios) it will probably do the existing standard better than spec.
Just my 2 cents. Dan.
