Yes, reading the entire message before answering is hard :-)

This is due to a change in amsthm.sty that happened sometime in 2004. 
The testmath.pdf you downloaded was typeset before that change happened. 
The Companion was perhaps written before that date, too.

In amsthm.sty, they added a line

\thm at notefont{\fontseries\mddefault\upshape}%

which changes this behavior. I assume that they think non-bold is more 
appropriate than boldface for a note. If you want to get a different 
behavior, add that line in your preamble and modify it, for example 
instead of "\fontseries\mddefault" write "\bfseries". Or use the 
solution 2 Victor pointed out.
