That is, you clearly have to buy your new spells and talents with EXP even if you have raised IQ to exceed the number of points of them you've already got. Agreed?

The way I understand the system, talents and spells don't fill up "IQ slots" after character creation. Yes, you must meet their IQ requirements but you don't have to raise your IQ just to "make room in your head" for more talents/spells. You pay XP for them instead.
During character creation, your starting IQ limits how many talents/spells you know starting off...by using the old "IQ slots".
This new system was presented by Steve back in mid June. It may have been proposed as far back as April :) but I wouldn't know :)
