Actually, when you point OS X 10.7.3’s xcode-select at Xcode.app, it will 
record the path as /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer because that’s 
what external tools will expect.

There is a known issue with xcode-select though: If you install or upgrade to 
OS X 10.7.3, and then install Xcode 4.2.1 or earlier along with its UNIX 
Development package (which is enabled by default), doing so will replace the OS 
X 10.7.3 version of xcode-select with Xcode 4.2.1’s or earlier.  For that 
version of xcode-select, you really will need to pass it the path to the 
Developer directory and not just Xcode.app.
