What's throwing off the math is the misleading paragraph at the end of the press release which compares the "base price" for all countries to the "end price" in Germany. Basically, the price hike will be 1.3-1.5% internationally, and to get a handle on it, you need to know what the "sales tax and country-specific requirements added" brings the total to, for your country of choice (by way of the configurator).
In Germany (euros):
987 (06) 43,333 - (07) 43,935
987S (06) 52,265 - (07) 53,099
In U.S. (USD):
987 (06) 45,000 - (07) 45,600
987S (06) 54,700 - (07) 55,500
On a percentage basis, the increases are nearly identical, but as Randall pointed out, it's still cheaper to buy Porsches in the U.S. and you can't apply the conversion rate to figure out the price.
