Despite what the capabilities output tells you, I believe the 5548 only support 1 Gbps speed with the GLC-T. See the 5.0(3) bulletin which states:

Cisco NX-OS 5.0(3)N1(1) adds support for the following 1 Gigabit Ethernet optics on all SFP+ ports on the base chassis as well as on expansion modules of the Cisco Nexus 5500 platform (including Cisco Nexus 5548P, 5548UP, and 5596UP):

• GLC-T, GLC-SX-MM, and GLC-LH-SM
