It sounded odd to me as well when I found that bit of info here:

By now [2010], ‘Attack of the Clones’ has been released uncut on DVD in Great Britain as part of the Prequel Trilogy Box.
Thanks for checking!
I was starting to get somewhere with my film reel restoration, but as I was about to pour some of my money into it, I see this post.
Well whaddya know…
Actually, I checked that 2008 UK box and the cut is still there.
It wasn’t until the 2011 blu-ray that AotC was passed uncut by the BBFC in the UK. It wasn’t re-rated, still classified as a PG.
