However, I read section 2B (iii) a few times today(reproduced at the bottom of email for reference). I think it completely makes sense to decline helping someone break the EULA.

So my suggestion to you is since your new MBPwRD came pre-installed with Mac OS X Lion and it may not be virtulaized by its SLA thus requiring you to purchase an additional copy and it is no longer available at the App Store I'd suggest you contact Apple to resolve your issue with your previously purchased copy of Mac OS X Lion from the App Store. This may have also been done in conjunction with that and since Mac OS X Lion that was in the App Store was intended as upgrade, Apple doesn't want it being downloaded onto OS X Mountain Lion and installed virtually as is not allowed by its current SLA (although Apple may change this at some point). Another reason may be the Mac OS X Lion Installer that was in the App Store was not updated to be able to be installed on the new Apple branded hardware just released (even though the preinstalled Mac OS X Lion obviously was updated). The first of which probably is to avoid any confusion for those wanting to purchase OS X Mountain Lion accidentally selecting Mac OS X Lion and if not just to give prominence to the new release. Mac OS X Lion was removed from the App Store just prior to OS X Mountain Lion and while this was probably done for more then one reason.

In some cases one may be able to easily fix this issue and in other cases may need to attempt a repair install or a complete new install. Some OSes have no problem rectifying the different CPU and some do.

Well, while generally speaking, Virtual Machines are portable in that they too can be copied/moved from one computer to another the same applies because a Virtual Machine is not totally virtual and does directly recognize some physical hardware, primarily the CPU, and as such is subject to the same issues as if when moving a physical hard drive from one physical computer to another physical computer. While one certainly can go through the motions of moving a physical hard drive from one physical computer to another physical computer nonetheless there is no guarantee that the installed OS will boot and or if it does boot not require some tweaking to get it to work on the new hardware.

If the Host is not running Mac OS X Lion you cannot virtualize it on that system and since you're running OS X Mountain Lion you cannot also run Max OS X Lion in a Virtual Machine under it whether it's technically doable or not is irrelevant, you cannot do it by its SLA!

In other words, Mac OS X Lion is an Upgrade and that means it replaces either Mac OS X Snow Leopard or Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server on the Apple branded hardware it is installed to and then while, and only while, it is running Mac OS X Lion one can also run up to two virtualized installs on the same Apple branded hardware that Mac OS X Lion itself is running on.

Running Mac OS X Lion in a Virtual Machine when the Host is running something other then Mac OS X Lion is prohibited by its SLA! Mac OS X Lion the was purchased in the App Store or on USB Thumb Drive may be installed on Apple branded hardware that is running Mac OS X Snow Leopard or Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server and then can also have 2 additional virtualized installs while running on the same Apple branded hardware that Mac OS X Lion is running on. Mac OS X Lion that came preinstalled cannot be virtualized.

Obviously you do not understand because if you did, you'd stop asking for help in violating the Mac OS X Lion SLA! Just because one can do something doesn't make it right and even though VMware Fusion supports running Mac OS X Lion (or any legally virtualizable versions of Apple OSes) in a Virtual Machine nonetheless you still need to comply with its SLA when doing so!
