So, if anyone can link to documentation or source code that suggests what the desired behaviour should be we can investigate further.

I haven't been able to find anything that talks about using the regulatory domain provided by the access point.
crda itself only takes a specific country code. wpa_supplicant does the same and dhcpcd doesn't seem to meddle with crda at all. According to that page, neither does NetworkManager.
I can't test everything out since my AP doesn't seem to specify the country. If someone has a setup that updates the regulatory domain using the information provided by the access point, then that would be a starting point. I'll keep looking but I haven't found software that does this yet.
