I've poked around and haven't found a description of the difference between PS CS4 Extended and the higher-education student version of PS CS4 Extended. What differences exist?

No difference at all. both are upgradeable and have the same features.

The only difference is in the EULA (End User's License Agreement.)

You are not permitted to resell a student version.

Are you sure about this?

You mean the ULA? Unless they changed it just for CS4, it remains that the student version license cannot legally be transferred.

That is correct, but operationally there is no difference.

I know that the older educational license agreement required the student to upgrade to FULL version when graduated or start using professionally. But the newer start with CSx has no limitation.

Of course you can transfer or sell it, cuz the buyer won't get free upgrade but still have to pay for the upgrade fee just like everyone else. IOW, if you can give away your FULL version then you can give away your educational version.

And I don't mean just give away the CD of older version but transfer the ownership to newer owner.

You might want to read the EULA.

How do you interpret this part of the EULA?

"NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU MAY NOT TRANSFER EDUCATION, PRE-RELEASE, OR NOT FOR RESALE COPIES OF THE SOFTWARE."

Would you sale me your education version so I can read the agreement? (just kidding). And if you Google around then you should see lot of different questions and answers about the EULA, even directly from the mouth of Adobe.

The EULA for the educational and commercial version have the same wording - it is the same document. You can find it under the folder named "Legal".

You see, the statement above follows the first part which defines the general case to address the educational case.
