More fbreseal strange behavior

I have prepared a target device exactly the way that I want it, and ran

fbreseal.exe -keepall

After a few moments, it comes back with a prompt that it finished
sealing and would reboot. Once it rebooted, I shut it down and imaged
the device.

I applied the image to a new, but identical device. Upon booting up,
the device appeared to be generating new SIDs and whatever else it
needs to do after a reseal.

Here's where the strange behavior comes in:

1) Upon full boot, I logged in as Administrator, and I receive a prompt
that there is no User data for that account (I don't have the exact
message, but I will recreate it later and post it). A new account is
created, "Administrator.NSXXYYZZ", where NSXXYYZZ is the machine name.
Unfortunately, this account lacks the customization that I spent hours
doing by hand, since it was created from the default profile.

2) I also get a "New Hardware found" dialog that prompts me to reboot.
This is the first time that I have seen this on this hardware - did it
change with SP2? I have seen several threads that talk about renaming
newdev.dll to get rid of this dialog, but I am wondering if it is a bug
that has been filed with Microsoft, or is it considered "Standard
operation"? It would be very dissappointing if it is. I have built
other images with SP2 and this version of components, without receiving
this dialog - What component did I add to cause it to happen?

So I am now left with trying to use a different SID tool, since I have
little or no faith in Microsoft's FBRESEAL.EXE. I have spent 3 days
sorting out the numerous issues with XPe that should "Just work" but
don't when you get into the details.
