I'd say it's just a basic MS cockup. In any case, the upgrades are good for Win 2000 for which there is no validation so the worst case scenario is that anyone using this method will need a Win 2000 CD - not really a big problem.

Given that you can find Vista for OEM prices (I've already been offered it from a reputable company I've dealt with before) this issue is largely irrelevant.
