Yep, that's sort of what I'm getting at too, I'm guessing that the're trying to avoid these being used inside, but under this porch, completely enclosed is rather a gray area, and the operative word being "in" as opposed to "on" may be the loophole...
But the question remains as to why?

UL often has different protocols for residential and commercial/industrial constructions. I'm only guessing here, but I suspect that there is some concern about the largest allowed bulb making the fixture hot enough to pose a risk to easily ignitable materials. Solutions? Stonco doesnt' have a problem with their product. Use a smaller, or compact fluorescent bulb. Place where there are no drapes, etc., and there is plenty of ventilation around it.
