Microsoft sales says it can't be done (upgrade XP home->pro). IBM says Microsoft said it could be done, demo'd it being done, and customers have done it.
IBM also provided a page on the Microsoft web site which says it can be done.
I'm not sure who is messed up here, but IBM has said I can wait till I get the laptop, install the upgrade, and if it doesn't work they will take the upgrade back, even though it would be opened. So I'm going to wait.
I am now grouchy at Microsoft, grouchy at IBM (which doesn't return calls when they say they will, exactly), but rather less ticked, at any rate.
*sighs* Want my laptop. Want it working, so I can stop fussing, too.
