I've seen that too. It's most bewildering - not to mention frustrating as hell.

My examples above are actually American examples (in that if you go onto the Amazon.com site and use the drop-down to select your country as United States, this is what you'll see... but, speaking as a Canadian, I've certainly seen plenty of additional, and very bizarre, georestrictions. I only quoted the American series omissions because the U.S.A. is the market of choice and therefore less unlikely (in theory) to be shrugged off.
