That smells like a bug to me. The validation code for Component/@Permanent _probably_ validates the literal attribute value rather than expanding preprocessor variables first and then validating. I've noticed this problem with other attributes too. From a toolset architecture perspective, which component is responsible for preprocessing wix source files before the compiler processes them?
