I have discovered that that is not the problem. smp_init_package_map()
is calculating the physical core id using the following:

for_each_present_cpu(cpu) {
unsigned int apicid = apic->cpu_present_to_apicid(cpu);

...
if (!topology_update_package_map(apicid, cpu))
continue;

...
int topology_update_package_map(unsigned int apicid, unsigned int cpu)
{
unsigned int new, pkg = apicid >> boot_cpu_data.x86_coreid_bits;

But later when the secondary CPU's are identified they use a different
calculation using the local APIC ID from the CPU's registers:

static void generic_identify(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c)
...
if (c->cpuid_level >= 0x00000001) {
c->initial_apicid = (cpuid_ebx(1) >> 24) & 0xFF;
...
c->phys_proc_id = c->initial_apicid;

So at the end of identify_cpu() when the boot/hotplug assignment is
put back:

c->logical_proc_id = topology_phys_to_logical_pkg(c->phys_proc_id);

topology_phys_to_logical_pkg() is returning an invalid logical processor
since one isn't configured.

It's not clear to me what the right thing to do is or which is right.
