I posted here, and wrote to WRI support about the same thing, and in 
reply from the latter I received the following link to a technical FAQ
 
http://support.wolfram.com/workbench/systems/allplatforms/workbenchversionerror.html

along with advice to uninstall Workbench 1.0 (as it was now superfluous).

What I wound up doing was:

   1. Uninstall 1.0
   2. Uninstall 1.1
   3. Delete the .WolframWorkbench from my user directory
   4. Reinstall 1.1

Probably it would have sufficed to do just steps 1 and 3.

Of course if you've added any plug-ins to 1.0, such as the one for 
webMathematica, then you need to re-install them in 1.1.
