Why does Web Platform Installer not recognize that SP1 is already installed for VS2010?

Question

I updated Microsoft Web Platform Installer (WPI) to v3.1 today in order to install MVC 3 Tools Update. I noticed that Visual Studio 2010 SP1 is not marked as "Installed", but I had already installed it via WPI last week. Does anyone know if this is a problem with WPI not recognizing and installed component, or if something has actually changed in SP1?

Additional Info:

I read another article that referenced this reg key as an indicator of the SP level:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv\vs\Servicing\10.0\procore
Value: SPName = SP1

Since then Chris gives no newer information, so it seems that Microsoft knows about the problems but has no remedy yet.
