Ok, not sure how I had it working before (I must have been evil and done some 
environment overrides). I'm fairly certain I never overwrote the RTM install of 
Wix, but the WixStdBA.dll and thm.xml in the two bundles were identical.

Adding

    <WixToolPath>...\wix\build\debug\x86\</WixToolPath>
    <WixTargetsPath>$(WixToolPath)Wix.targets</WixTargetsPath>
    <WixTasksPath>$(WixToolPath)wixtasks.dll</WixTasksPath>
    <WixExtDir>$(WixToolPath)</WixExtDir>

to the bundle got me up and running, and working as expected, with 3.8.

Now back to adding/testing ActionData into WixStdBA.

I noticed a behavioral change in 3.8, but haven't had time to track down the 
root cause.  Previously one could provide a <Payload 
SourceFile="...\RtfTheme.xml"  Name="thm.xml"/> inside a 
<BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense"> 
and it would take this theme over the default.  In 3.8, one has to explicitly 
use WixStandardBootstrapperApplication/@ThemeFile in order for the custom theme 
to be applied. I'm not sure if this was intentional, but just thought I would 
mention it.
It wasn't. Are you using WixStandardBootstrapperApplication in both? Can you 
run 'dark -x . bundle.exe' to extract the two bundles and diff them? I'm 
curious what the difference would be. I suspect it's that using 
WixStandardBootstrapperApplication pulls in the default and that wins over a 
payload pointing to the same Name.
