Ah-ha, thanks to a hint from Arjan, it seems this is a BIOS override.  On
another Dell I was able to disable nx by turning of the "CPU XD Support" under
"Security".  Is there some way to work around this, perhaps?


** Summary changed:

- nx not enabled with 32bit PAE on some CPU models
+ nx not enabled with 32bit PAE when forced off in BIOS

nx not enabled with 32/64bit PAE when forced off in BIOS
