I opened an incident with MSFT, here's what they said (after a very
round-about conversation):
The documentation on it is correct - it needs to be at least one
more than the highest number in the DiskID column of the Media table.
"This field can be null only if you are using version 2.0 of
Patchwiz.dll and if the MinimumRequiredMsiVersion in the Properties
table (Patchwiz.dll)
<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370890.aspx> is set to
200."
The nullable field was only allowed with older versions of
Patchwiz.dll.
I was positive the spirit of the msdn doc was saying it would work with
PatchWiz 2.0 or greater, but apparently not. They said they'd improve
the error message (long term) and write up a kb (short term).

In case someone was looking at a similar issue: basically we
have multiple cab files in a debug install (to contain the pdbs, which
exceed 2GB in many cases). When generating the patch, I was leaving
MediaDiskId blank, but in needed to be set to a value greater than the
highest Media Id in the msi's.
Yes. That's interesting -- I'm specifying the number but based on the
doc, I'm wondering whether patchwiz 4.0 needs it...
