If I'm readign that right, there will never be interchange between St
Pancras Thameslink and the Underground. Surely some mistake?
No mistake - *all* Thameslink passengers who get on/off at StP must go
through the gateline. In particular Victoria line passengers will be in
for a shock, although the Northern Ticket Hall (to open in 2010) will
shorten the walking distance between the deep-level lines and StP (TL)
slightly (particularly the Northern line). In any case the walking
distance for Met/Circle/H&C line passengers will not change tomorrow.

So what will be the best route for a passenger from, say, Luton who
wants to get to, say, Paddington? Will it still be easier overall to
remain on the train at KXSP and change at Farringdon?

That is indeed the case. The time it will take to walk from Platform A
at StP to the sub-surface platforms at KXSP and hop on the train is the
same as the time it will take to ride from StP to ZFD (Farringdon), do a
cross-platform interchange (TL - LUL) and ride from ZFD to KXSP.
