Something in my memory remembers this tracked down to a Windows Installer bug

Yeah, I just created a new WiX project from the Wix file template. Then did
<UIRef Id="WixUI_Minimal"/> and referenced the UI extension library.
Attached is the simple MSI.

WiX Version - 3.0.4805
msi version - 4.0.6001.18000
