There is a difference between (RTM, SP1) and (SP2). The color depth was capped based on the resolution. Unfortunately, there is no current fix for this issue.

I am currently having this same problem and have almost pulled my hair out
trying to get it to work...did you happen to find a solution without
reverting back to service pack 1 ? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

I found out, that it will automatically reduce the color depth down from
24bit to 16bit and 8bit, as higher the resolution ist. (the "max resolution"
you refered)
These are my findings on a Windows2003 SP2 Server:
1600*1200: 24bit
1604*1200: 16bit
...
...
...
2400*1200: 16bit
2404*1200: 8bit
...
...
...
4096*2048: 8bit - max supportet resolution
When I try the same thing on a Windows 2003 SP1 Server I can go up to
4096*2048 in 24bit color depth.
So, I'm almost sure something got tweaked here in SP2.....
