Why are RHEL5 Guests on a RHEL6 AP (Virtualization Platform) host registered to RHN as physical systems?

Issue

Why are all of my RHEL5 guests on a RHEL6 host attempting to consume a full physical entitlement when registering with RHN ?

All of my RHEL6 guests on the same host only consume a single virtual entitlement each.

Environment
