Whereas I DO get the premium paper option.

I think I know what's going on. Blurb.com does not actually own any printing 
presses. They are a front-end broker to local printing companies around the 
world. Probably what's happening here is that Blurb knows where you are, and 
knows which printer is the one that's closest to you, and knows what that 
printer's capabilities are. If you live someplace whose nearest 
Blurb-contracted printer can do premium paper, then it will show up as an 
option.

Here's a screen dump of what I see:
