Yeah,
I found another reference to it here:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/65e51ac9-5395-4cb6-8112-7b3c599a7773/projectreferencenode-in-mpf-requires-guids-on-project-references?forum=vsx
I wonder why one shouldn't just modify MPF to load the referenced project and
ask MSBuild for the value of the metadata it needs.

Ahh, yes. Sorry, known MPF issue. I have a bad habit of whacking the Project
metadata from project references even though MPF based projects require it...
because... well, MPF bugs me. <smile/>

Subject: [WiX-devs] MPF: Adding a wixlib project reference to a solution
FYI,
I've diagnosed the "issue" I found yesterday. When referencing an external
project via MPF, a <Project>{GUID}</Project> element is required. When adding
these via the IDE, it does populate them. I wrote my extension using an
existing one as a reference, which did not have them. The problem was the
wixlib project had a reference to the C++ ca project. When attempting to add
the wixlib to the solution Votive/MPF parses for the ProjectReference elements
and it requires the GUID to be set.
Thanks,
Jacob
