Penalized classes/races do require more XP... that's how the penalty works. The penalty/bonus was to balance out the innate abilities of the classes/races (that was the intent anyway).
We say a Troll SK gets an x% XP penalty, but that doesn't mean the Troll SK gets a different amount of XP per kill (solo), it means the Troll SK requires more XP to level... so learning that certain classes/races require more XP to level doesn't actually change anything.
The "group penalty", as it's called, was implemented to ensure your Dwarf Cleric wouldn't out-level your buddy's Troll SK so you could continue playing together.

I think I see this now re-reading bumgardeners numbers, hence the halfling rog "gains" less per kill than the ranger, to equalize the exp throughout the group.
