I have 4.2.4 and still get error with this

scl June 5, 2012
The Resolution of the issue will be set to 1.
— THEN
Set issue status to the linked status of the destination workflow step.
— THEN
Add a comment to an issue if one is entered during a transition.
— THEN
Update change history for an issue and store the issue in the database.
— THEN
The Closed_Date of the issue will be set to Updated.
— THEN
Re-index an issue to keep indexes in sync with the database.
— THEN
Fire a Issue Closed event that can be processed by the listeners.
Results in following error:
Unable to update custom field 'customfield_10511 - Closed_Date' in issue [XXX-15]
It seems that you have tried to perform an illegal workflow operation.
I have tried with Closed_Date as a Date Picker custom field as well as a datetime custom field.
Interestingly, the terminology isn't the same as yours: "will take the value of Updated"

I can't tell if this is an answer to another question, or a question in it's own right.

Assuming the second, then the answer is that your workflow allows you to select any date fields to work with. It does NOT know if the field you pick is valid for the project/issue-type that the workflow will eventually be used with. In other words, it lets you configure a duff transition, and then falls over when you execute it. Check that the field configuration and context in the target project allow "customfield 10511" for that project/issuetype
