Thanks for your ideas everyone, I found a solution built into
Team Foundation Build itself.
I found the following section in
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets.
<!--
Override this target to execute a task for customizing the
build number and/or drop location.
Make sure that the task outputs properties with the names
'BuildNumber' and/or 'DropLocation'.
-->
<Target Name="BuildNumberOverrideTarget" />
This target gets fired right before InitializeEndToEndIteration which
then uses the UpdateBuildNumberDropLocation task to write these
properties back to TFS.
