Project Reference in VS 2005 causes: Could not find file 'Microsoft.Windows.CommonLanguageRuntime, Version=2.0.50727.0'

Interesting little bug that I ran into today.  If you reference a Windows Forms project from another Windows Forms project using the Project Reference dialog, you will get this weird error:

Could not find file 'Microsoft.Windows.CommonLanguageRuntime, Version=2.0.50727.0'

There is actually a KB on it, but it doesn't show up in Google, or of course in MSDN search:
