Why do we need a primary location? Why not just a set of locations? It
seems to me that in this context having a primary location may serve
to confuse users. At least the UI you suggest does not indicate how
the primary location differs from the others, so as a user I wouldn't
really know what the consequences of "Make primary" would be or why I
would want to do it. So it seems to be a feature in search of
motivation, rather than the other way around.

Fair enough.

Could just make the entries editable in-line.

Wouldn't be needed without a primary location, obviously.

Just my 2 (Canuck) cents :)

Have fun,
