No, you haven't missed the point, you've just focused on the biggest
weakness of custom executables right now they can't be saved for all
users.

Scott,
Perhaps I don't understand what a custom executable is for...
For example, let's say I have a API project that needs to have an
additional application to run the API. This is a 'custom executable,'
right?
If that information is saved as part of the 'user' data, and I give my
project to another developer on the team, they will have to locate and
add
their own 'custom executable' even though it's the same one I used???
In my opinion, this is an example where the custom executable should
NOT
be considered a user setting; there is no way to debug the project
without
this information...
A custom executable should be considered an integral part of the
project
instead of 'fluff' that can be lost by passing the project around...
or by logging in a different user...
or switching to another machine (aka going home for the day)
Unless, of course, I've missed the point???

Some of it was, but other information was never being stored prior to
1.5. Also, we wanted to break out the less critical per-user
information into their own files to make it easier to just back up the
per-user information that affects the actual project contents (like
custom executables, breakpoints, and bookmarks).

That file contains information about your UI layout. It doesn't
contain anything critical to the project, so it's up to you if you
want to archive it in CVS.
Wasn't this stored in <username>.pbxuser or something similar until
1.5? Why the change?
