I noticed that the SQL Express 2008 R2 does not list Windows XP as a supported operating system. While it seems to work fine, I'd need to be sure that everything is going to work on an XP machine should I deploy R2.

Otherwise I need to deploy SQL Express 2008 SP1.
Anybody have positive or negative experiences with R2 on XP?

I have been using SQL 2008 R2 (express and standard editions) across Windows XP (service packed as specified), Vista, 8, 2003 Sever, 2008 server. It has been absolutely solid in all respects.
