I see Microsoft are using even more sneaky tactics these days to 
increase sales. They are releasing new versions of Windows with the 
first service pack already applied to satisfy the customers who always 
wait for the first service pack of a version of Windows to come out 
before upgrading to it.

Or could this just be a copy and paste mistake?

No, its no mistake.
osvi.szCSDVersion returns "Service Pack 1".

I thought it was a mistake as well, when i first saw it, but I ran cpuz on 
the server, and it

is reported as "Windows Vista Service Pack 1" (It appears the cpuz doesnt 
understand the

its a server yet).

Windows 2008 is built on the Vista codebase, and is aligned with Vista
SP1. When Vista SP2 ships, it will be Windows 2008 SP1. (Source: Paul
Thurott's podcast on www.twit.tv).
