Ian,
The Assault Status dialog is not showing the US infantry units defense strength. It shows the assault values for both attacker and defender. Remember that an assault is basically made up of two simultaneous attacks. The attacker and the defender both attack the other.
You are correct that it is the Alternative Assault Rule that is affecting the calculation. In the first example with only tanks attacking, the US assault is lower as it is using its hard attack value. In the second example, its assault is proportioned across the three German attackers and it uses it normal assault value against the two soft targets. So the overall assault is higher. Of course the German total assault value is also higher as it is attacking with two extra units.
And it is worth noting that the assault values shown are before the modifications that are displayed in the dialog.
