Regarding Haswell "refresh", it has long been expected that BIOS for any system would need a BIOS update, so that's not too surprising.... if they would even work at all (LGA 2011 compared to LGA 2011-3 sockets on the Xeon DP models for instance).
It seems like it would really only be possible on the uniprocessor Haswell since the socket is still LGA 1150, so you might just keep your fingers crossed that HP will get it working for those uniproc servers.
