Is there actually a restriction on the export of really-fast
frequency-hopping radios, even those (like cordless phones) which have no
clear military value?

Yes. The ITARs restrict the export of any radio which hops faster
than one frequency per second. (Or ten seconds if it hops between
more than 8 bands.) See ITAR XIII.b.1.iii.C
