I have this issue as well. This issue has persisted from many Ubuntu versions ago, and has always made it extremely difficult to deal with NUMA configuration. Oddly enough, after testing Ubuntu 15.04 last weekend, it seems the issue is gone.

All of the servers that we have affected by this have Supermicro motherboards. (We only have Supermicro, so I can't tell you otherwise.)

Disabling NUMA in BIOS shows the right socket information, however all of the cores are listed in node 0, instead of being listed in their separate node. (Of course.)

Re-enabling NUMA in BIOS shows wrong socket information, but with proper cores split between the right nodes.

Might be something directly related to the architecture of Supermicro motherboard. Or possibly we can get a confirmation this happens on another manufacturer's board?
