I think the key to the log entry is the phrase:
"that believes that it is the master browser for the domain "
The log does not say the laptop won the browser election, just that it was
calling for one - the server should always win, unless IsDomainMaster is set
to FALSE in the registry, and it would only be that way if someone set it
manually. The PDC is King...if you are not sure, run BrowMon.exe (either
resource kit or support tools util) when the laptop gets connected to the
network and see what happens.
I'd bet the SBS will still list as Master Browser...
