Many carriers still operate them as slightly different networks and it could be that the roaming agreement wasn't applied to the LTE profiles.

Thanks for the advice--I'll have to try that the next time I go abroad. I was originally afraid that if I switched off LTE roaming, all data roaming would be switched off.
