Quinton I also reported the same issue in the WiX bug tracker on Sourceforge on issue 2025677 a while ago & was told the same thing as you can see from the notes on it.
As I wrote on that issue, the workaround Neil outlined below is what I've implemented and if it works for companies like Perforce (http://www.perforce.com/perforce/products/p4v.html) and Google SketchUp (http://sketchup.google.com) to reference but 2 examples I see on a regular basis, it works for us/me.
