The restrictions are indeed harder than I thought, but two concurrent administrative connections using any accounts are possible (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814590/en-us). This doesn't even require any CALs. I've just verified this in a Windows Server 2008 evaluation VM I had lying around.
Additional concurrent connections require a single User CAL _plus_ a single Terminal Server User CAL for each connection. These need to be registered in two license managers and will be bound to users upon connecting. Don't know how easy it is to unbind them again, but it's certainly complicated considering that Terminal Server CALs require personal registration at Microsoft. Not very user-friendly for our usage scenario in an Open-Source project ;-) Finally, these additional connections would be non-administrative, so likely unusable if we want to test drivers. Would certainly be easier to just buy another Windows Server license if the two included concurrent connections don't suffice.
