Never mind, I figured it out. Another developer had inadvertently removed the Persisted flag for the SERVICEACCOUNT variable in the Bundle file. So while everything was set correctly for the user in the source for the MSI, the variable not being persisted impacted the uninstalls ability to remove the user. Once I added the Persisted flag back it worked as expected. Sorry to have wasted anyone's time and thanks Rob for the quick response.

It was working and I haven't changed this code in a while (if ever). The only difference I'm aware of between when it was working and now is we upgraded from Wix 3.8 to 3.9.
