I've been ignoring these errors for ages with no side-effects. I have ALLUSERS=1 and the installer is launched from a bootstrapper, so the user doesn't have a chance to change that value on the command line. I also think the fix is less than perfect. One Admin installs the product and the workaround to escape the validation error writes a registry key under their HKCU. Another Admin uninstalls the product and now the first Admin is left with a bunch of orphaned registry entries.
Like I said, I've been ignoring this for about 4 years and it's not been an issue yet.
