I have not used this API, but as a diversion from what I should be working on, I put a snippet of your code into my BAFunctions.dll project and stepped through it.
>>the Bootstrapper blows up when it is calling the MsiLocateComponent method in WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.cpp I think you need to call MsiLocateComponentW when passing LPWSTR in the second param. MsiLocateComponent get compiled as the ANSI function on my Win 7 x64 dev system. I think there may be other issues with respect to parsing possible return codes from MsiLocateComponent before moving on to call FileExistsEx, but I did not step through that far yet. I have not tried to modify the WixStdBA except through the use of a BAFunctions.dll, which is very convenient to implement and debug.
