It took a while for me to find this, and I thought I'd pass it along to anyone else that was thinking they could update their existing offline WIM images:
The following scenarios are applicable to businesses that want to deploy SP2 to multiple computers or deploy custom images, or both. We recommend that you use the SP2 integrated DVD to install SP2. Although it is not recommended, if you have custom Windows Server 2008 images that you want to update, you can boot the Windows image, apply the service pack, and then recapture the image. This online method is the only way to update images with SP2; SP2 cannot be installed to or uninstalled from an offline image of Windows Server 2008. You will need to obtain the latest version of the Windows OPK or Windows AIK.
