You seem to be assuming technical implementation and licensing are the same thing. I'm wondering if anyone has actually confirmed that Windows XP will recognize multiple cores in excess of the socket licensing limitations.
As for the claims that Redhat et al. licensed on a per-core basis, I'm going to say you need to provide documentation for that claim - the only major holdout I knew of in this regards was Oracle (and technically IBM, but only in regards to their PowerPC chips, so it doesn't affect 99% of the market).
