All I can tell you is that Joss flat out says it's SMG in the commentary. He said that she came in for the day.
I think the reason it was denied, is because NPH has also said in the commentary "I thought Comic Con was going to be Joss getting asked a bunch of questions about SMG."
So I'm willing to bet the reason for the denial at public events was to avoid Joss getting asked a bunch of questions about Sarah Michelle Gellar. Admitting it was her would definitely have taken away from the point of sessions like that. But, he did state that it was definitively SMG in the commentary on the dvd.
So... I'm gonna go ahead and say that there's no question about it, and it was really her.

Oh, I completely forgot to check the commentary!!! Yes, that makes me so happy!!
It's glad to know they still are friends. I mean, why else would she stop in? It's not like she got any money for it.

I think this post by QuoterGal on Whedonesque sums up the situation nicely:
I think it's SMG because I'm sadly a huge fan of hers and can recognize her based on skin tone, facial structure (even though the picture resolution isn't great) and body shape. And Joss denying it and joking about it makes me think that it's just part of being a kidder.

I'm glad we're talking about this b/c I'm sooo confused. Originally, we posted once on the blog that we thought it was her. Then after ComicCon when Joss said it wasn't her we clarified the original post. I really think the commentary on the DVD was sarcasm. I think they were poking fun at, uh, us (I guess) by saying "Oh look, haha, it's Sarah Michelle Gellar." Like "oh, the fandom is nuts."
At the same time I (and everyone at Buffyfest is in full agreement after studying the hell out of it) think it looks EXACTLY like her. And yes, why would you waste so much wardrobe and accessories on an extra? Furthermore, I think they said that wasn't the last day of shooting so that would compute as I doubt it could've been the same exact day as Paley. She would'nt have had time to get as prettied up as she did that night if it was same day. But I believe they said another scene was the last day. I'll have to go back and check.
On the other hand, it would've been great publicity to leak that out right before the DVD came out and yet they didn't. I don't know, maybe the truth will never be told, but I really like believing it was her.

So, it's her, really cool Thanks Emmie! Maybe someday we'll have the chance to ask SMG about this.

I just watched the commentary today and it seems that they were being funny, not seriously saying it was SMG. I thought it was her from the beginning and still think it looks exactly like her, but their tone seemed to be sarcastic to me. For the record, I hope I'm wrong.

I disagree. It didn't sound at all sarcastic to me.

I disagree. It didn't sound at all sarcastic to me. I didn't think it sounded sarcastic either. It sounded more like they forgot to mention it was her (which is why Felicia laughed).

It's most definitely not Sarah Michelle Gellar. Joss confirmed this in his recent TV Guide interview. Interviewer: Now that we know for CERTAIN that it was Sarah Michelle Gellar who made a brief cameo in "Dr. Horrible", might you work with her again? Joss Whedon: We know for certain it wasn't, is the phrase there, right? Okay... Interviewer: Ehhhhh... Joss Whedon: Yeah, it was not. It was not Sarah. No. Of course I will be working with Sarah again, but not as an extra. She'd have a speaking part. Possibly she'd even walk.

When he says "Of course I will be working with Sarah again"..is it just me who thinks this means a Buffy movie? or am I really over the top optimistic?

Over the top optimistic. :]
Joss recently shot down that rumor, and hinted that he's headed more toward new stuff.

Ha he says he'll work with Sarah again one day and everyone automatically thinks Buffy movie. We are a crazy fandom. I hope he works with Sarah one day on anything. Buffy, Dollhouse, destroying FOX, new projects...anything. Maybe put her in a revival of Firefly, then. *wink* I keed, I keed. Honestly, Joss or not, I just love to see her in anything worthy of her talent. I have to admit it'd be nice to see her on TV again. I wanted it to be Sarah. Even if it's not Sarah, it was fun to speculate.

hey, so as cool as it would be if it were her - joss himself says it isn't. I found the TV Guide clip that Enisy mentioned. Here's the link to the youtube video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OHpGv1hO90its halfway through where we hear him talk about Dr. Horrible.
