My experience (not much) and my gut feeling is the same,
namely that a supervisor never puts his/her name on a
student's research. There's a quote I remember reading
once somewhere about a Ph.D. Dissertation being research
(carried out by the major professor) under extreme
duress, or something to this effect. I don't
remember the exact wording, but the point was that,
if anything, advisors bend over backwards to avoid
getting any credit for the work their students do, at
least while they're still students. Other fields may
be different, but this seems to fit with what I've
seen in math.

By the way, I think I know the original poster. If he's
who I think he is, he took three graduate courses under
me, including that infamous topology class I was posting
all those notes from last fall, and he was one of the
best students I've ever had.
