Multicore does work with EmbeddedSolrServer. It's what we use in our application.
solr.xml is also relevant for configuring the cores. We do not do it in quite the same manner that Phillip is describing, though. Our CoreContainer is initialized by SolrDispatchFilter. After the core container is created, we just do 'new EmbeddedSolrServer(cores, "firstCoreNameInSolrXml");' -- it even worked without a core name specified, but the behavior was erratic and incorrect in other ways in that case. I would suggest enabling logging for the Solr classes that are likely to help explain some of the mystery here: SolrResourceLoader, and CoreContainer. At the info level, they will tell you where they are finding solr.xml and how they are finding it (whether it's passed in via constructor arguments, or through solr.solr.home).
