Last night I re-installed 11B3 from scratch, from the DVD, and noticed
that B3 installs as the *default* selection the "-pae" kernel and not
the "-default" kernel for "single and multiprocessors".

That's correct. We install the pae whenever pae is supported.

Default works as well - it's just the fallback and you miss PAE which
also includes allows some nice security features like non-executable
stack.
