In a newly created Xcode 4 project the build settings panel will show the value "build", which is the relative path to a build directory alongside the project file. But if you echo ${SYMROOT} from a script phase, it does indeed contain the location used by Xcode 4 inside the user’s library. Hard to reason that the display in build settings is not a bug.
I wasn't exactly defending Xcode 4, just trying to find sense in what it's doing, so "consistent" might be the wrong word.
The project file, including its build settings, is really an Xcode *3* format, as you can see from the Project Format popup in the file inspector pane The build settings editor is really an Xcode 3 build settings editor -- a better one than Xcode 3 itself had. That's more or less what I was trying to say.
There is no Xcode 4-specific build settings editor, and that's both a defect and a source of confusion. I think the confusion is even worse in the case of the installation/deployment settings, where the settings were confusing enough to begin with, before Xcode 4 came along and (AFAICT) changed the meaning of "build".
