It'll scale down just fine. Tablet size devices will see the new launcher layout. Phones will most likely see the current (Gingerbread) launcher layout. Check these screenshots of the Honeycomb SDK booting into a Nexus1 size emulator: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10942783&...

I thought that the normal launcher didn't load on the phone emulator, which is why they launched Launcher+. And Launcher+ is just going to use the same experience that it has on Froyo, Gingerbread, etc devices. So we can't actually see any screenshots of the Honeycomb Launcher. Correct?

Correct. Google can fix the stock launcher in one of two ways: retain the old layout and just fix the bugs which prevent usage right now or come up with something new. Since the focus of Honeycomb is tablets, I am guessing they'll go with the former option.
