I can't test it right now, but IIRC the radeon drivers even limit the size of antialiased points to 1. This seems to be compliant with the specs, but wouldn't it be nicer to draw antialiased points as software fallbacks and not limit their size (beyond the mesa limits, if there are any), if the hardware doesn't support point antialiasing?
