Interesting. Perhaps this is something MS has already changed or perhaps
the WinUSB driver doesn't add this to the device path.

This is on Vista 32-bit.

And, although you don't seem to believe me, the serial number is present and
fully verified on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X as a real "honest to goodness"
USB serial number. I've got about 5 yrs of production behind this particular
device to prove that out, and every single USB "snoop" or inspection utility
shows the serial number reliably.
