Interesting. Questions:

 - Was Xcode 4.3 installed at that point?
 
 - Had Xcode been run after the install? (In other words, had you agreed to the license?)

 - I'm particularly intrigued by "xcodebuild exists but failed to execute".  Is that a symptom of it trying to get you to agree to the license?

 - What would "xcodebuild -version" and "xcode-select -print-path" have returned at that point?

 The other messages imply that (a) xcodeselect -print-path failed to return anything valid, and (b) that mdfind didn't find the Xcode binary anywhere, and (c) that there was no Xcode at /Developer. The fact that the messages are duplicated several times is due to the way in which those messages are hooked in. While it's not ideal, too many messages is better than none at all!
