Apparently, the FAA third is not valid abroad unless specifically
allowed by the coutry you're flying in.

An FAA Class 3 Medical is not issued in accordance with ICAO
specifically because the US filed differences with Annex 3. Therefore
the medical is only valid within the confines of the United States.

Doesn't matter what the reg if the airplane is, either..

And yet pilots with third class medicals fly to other countries all
the time. What does the Baja Bush Pilots have to say about this? Why
haven't they made an issue of it?

Dunno. I'll find out, but In any case, this is a new thing afaik.
