The absolute situation is as follows:
When you buy a full premium licence for £150 your licence is tagged to
enable it to be moved from that device to another, this is known as a change
of handset, or confusingly a cross phone upgrade. This service costs £50 and
removes the tag from your original phone and places it on your new one.
When you buy a Standard Talks through Vodafone, which of course you don't
technically buy, although you do pay for it just not with money in the
traditional sense! Aside from the obvious application differences between
premium and standard, a Talks standard client is not entitled to free
updates nor upgrades, support from a Nuance dealer, nor change of handsets
at reduced rates. Having said that the latter option isn't a worry if their
going back to Vodafone when they get their next phone for another free
licence.
Someone can upgrade from standard to premium for £50, this is on our
web-site, and this gives them full premium, including the right to move
handset for £50 additionally on top of this fee.
Additionally though, someone who buys premium and then later moves their
licence to a new phone, can sell or give away their old phone with
effectively no transfer tag and perform an upgrade from standard to premium
which re-enables the transfer tag. Then for another £50 move that licence to
their next handset.
I hope that this was clear.

This is news to me, so like you say, needs clarification by one of the
dealers, I always understood it to be as I stated it -
