Comment:

 Clearly and unfortunately this has not been solved for the upcoming
 release. So for now there is only the possibility to hide the panel for
 registered users? Hiding is not the same as removing and as you can remove
 the rest of the dashboard relatively easily, this should definitely be
 possible for this intrusive panel!

 add_action( 'load-index.php', 'hide_welcome_panel' );

 function hide_welcome_panel() {
     $user_id = get_current_user_id();

     if ( 1 == get_user_meta( $user_id, 'show_welcome_panel', true ) )
         update_user_meta( $user_id, 'show_welcome_panel', 0 );
 }
