When you create a new command, you'll have the option to specify a macro. The script above is what you would input as the macro. From there you could then put the command on a menu, toolbar, or even a ribbon (2009+).

How can I set this in my toolbar?

In this context the scalelistedit command behaves like the PURGE command. Annotation scales are assigned to individual entities, and you'll have to right-click on your annotative objects and edit the scales assigned to them to get rid of the extraneous scales you mention.

After seeing the havoc this "bug" did to our drawings, we ended up adding the above fix to our acaddoc.lsp file. It may be a little overzealous of a solution, but that makes the fix run automatically for each drawing that is opened in AutoCAD. Over time, all of our infected files have gotten fixed. I don't have a link handy, but Autodesk did release a little utility that can perform the fix on a batch of DWG files all at once. As for AutoCAD 2009, you're right in the way it's BIG feature was the updated UI. Like it or not, the Ribbon is replacing the menus of AutoCAD. If you're on subscription, I'd encourage you to check the subscription website. Autodesk released some bonus packs adding things like a PDF plotter that creates a decent PDF.

I am about to install AutoCAD 2009 for no reason other than to fix the XREF annotation scales IF this problem is addressed/fixed in this release. Your opinion/experience? And wow, what a disappointment to see that there were apparently not any improvements in AutoCAD 2009, just a new GUI to get used to (madness!) unless you set everything back to "classic" like you're used to. I'm 99% keyboard input of course, but my reaction to the new screen is kind of like when I go to the grocery store and in their infinite wisdom they've re-arranged what is in which aisle.

As you discovered first-hand, the scale list is used in a number of places throughout AutoCAD (plot dialog included). Jeff – Glad to help!
