There were papers on XP/Pair programming in both the 2004 and 2005 EASE conferences (Evaluation & Assessment in Software Engineering). The 2004 event was co-located as an ICSE workshop, so the proceedings are available via IEEE, the 2005 proceedings were internal, although as usual, we expect to produce a journal special issue from the event.
Relevant papers included: 2004 An industrial case study on introducing XP in a complex software development environment, Svensson Toward a framework for evaluating extreme programming, Williams et al An exploratory study on the effects of pair programming, Ramesh 2005 A preliminary study on the impact of a pair design phase on pair programming and solo programming, Muller I don't think that any addressed the specific issue that you raise though, at least, not as a direct research question, although Muller's paper might come nearer to it than most.
