It is _not_ a standard Server CD, but it has all the Server 2003 Standard
Edition files on it. For one thing, it's not bootable - it must be run from
within SBS. But the transition pack process does a full Server repair
installation, from what I saw. (The whole process takes about an hour and a
half on decent hardware, and involves something like 7 reboots.)

That is incorrect. The Server 2003 Standard Edition is part of the media.
That's why it's critical that you get the right media for your version -
if you're running SBS SP1, you need the SP1 version of the Transition
Pack, which has Server 2003 SP1 on it.
I'm not MS Sales, but I have the CD sitting in front of me.
(note: it's the same physical CD for Standard and for Premium SBS - just
the key is different. Oh, and the price of course. )
That's good to know, and we should let MS Sales and Support know that
too. It's almost impossible to get a correct answer out of them any
more. I spent about a days worth of time on the phone with them and was
only able to get that the kit contains a single CD which unlocks the
restrictions, but was not a Server 2003 Standard CD.
One other critical factor - they told me, and again, I'm going by MS
Sales and Support, that since we bought/were sold OEM, that we can not
move the transitioned parts to another server, that everything must
remain on the same server.
