It seems it is from a project reference that links (not the normal Visual
Studio include) to a file two folders up. This is for multiple projects to
share the same AssemblyInfo file. Double clicking on the error shows a
generated file with the following;
<Directory Id="dir5096DEAD839650CE5D1B0EA77256E6C0" Name="..">
<Directory Id="dir739DA4256FF8FF4672AB90E143EE9E7D"

Version prior to 3.5.1315 was fine with this but since then there has seems
to be some extra checking going on that breaks with relative file references
in referenced projects.
I'll see if I can dig out my old 3.5 install now as the download links have
been tidied up.
