and Qualcomm then decides to split the company, and Nokia is obligated to license their IPR to chipmaker SPINCOII, and Qualcomm has now exhausted its obligations to offer any deal to Nokia for 3G IPR, then it's just "<yawn>, we'll just have to pay some more money", huh, Slacker?

Even if any and all you say here comes to pass, I still don't see how it impacts anything other than Nokia's cash hoard. When all is said and done, the worst-cast scenario for Nokia is that they end up paying the same as everyone else instead of their current sweatheart deal. And that's if and only if Qualcomm splits the company.
