It is a bug in Xcode 4, but Apple apparently has no plans to fix it (ID 9214793). The value indeed comes from the UI build products location field in Xcode 3, but it's not revealed anywhere in Xcode 4. You either have to edit your pbxuser file and delete it or re-open the project in Xcode 3 and delete the value, assuming that you might have Xcode 3 still available.
Not that this is exactly relevant to the discussion at hand, but I found that Snow Leopard Server and Leopard Server run great under VMWare in order to keep old projects alive for further development or to migrate old projects. I need to maintain 10.4 and 10.5 versions of some apps, and these two environments allow me to still build PPC code for Tiger and Leopard using Xcode 3.1 under Leopard Server and 3.2 under Snow Leopard Server. Just use shared locations through the Finder and not the "shared folders" feature of VMware to open the same project in both the virtual machine and in Lion (the shared folders feature has a space in the path name that screws with things).
