I really dislike when companies say it their product encrypts with "256-bit encryption" or "AES-256". Like you said, that is an incomplete description of an encryption scheme. The choice of block cipher mode can immediately make or break my opinion of a product, and when developers omit what mode they've chosen, I lean toward break.
