I spoke with Roger Mason directly via email and we sorted it out.
Here's the summary for anyone interested:

condor_configure looks in etc/condor_config in your --install-dir
dir.  (So in this case /usr/local/condor/etc/condor_config.)  If
it finds that file it assumes that this is an upgrade and tries
to read the file.  For this work, the condor_config needs to be
valid.  If you specify one or more LOCAL_CONFIG_FILEs those file
either must exist, or REQUIRE_LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE must be FALSE.
If the file is invalid you'll get an error like the above.
