Your 512e drive is in a USB enclosure I take it? I'm going to guess that there's something about the bridge chipset that's confusing the kernel, whereas hdparm and smartctl get this information directly (by using SCT commands to query the drive).
Yes. Those USB enclosures can be frustrating. Usually I see 512e drives show up with a physical/logical sector size of 512 bytes. Some of them actually report a 4 KiB physical/logical sector size when you connect large capacity drive, to permit using an MBR partitioning to address a drive over 2 TiB on certain proprietary operating systems.
