Jco: that's the public key length, which is a different thing. The ciphers come into play after the negotiation takes place. The 256 encryption you're using is used for the encryption of the data - the handshake is used to negotiate the encryption cipher and length, which is where your 256 bits comes into play.
I hope this makes sense.
