It appears to be a path to a readme file
Looking in the actual Add/Remove programs (or rather, the Programs and Features in Vista) dialog, with the Readme column enabled, it does appear to be a path to a readme file. Given this, it's actually pretty useless, because there doesn't appear to even be a link or any way to so much as copy the string to open it. So unless you want to go rooting through directories by hand, I don't see the point.

unspecific information
Unfortunately this documentation does not specify if the "readme" is a text or a link to a text file or the identifier to a binary within the MSI containing the readme text (possibly as rtf).
