An individual merge module can pass ICEs but be invalid when merged with
another. WiX is reporting errors from mergemod.dll. See "get_Type Method
of the IMsmError Interface" in the MSI SDK for the errors. See "Naming
Primary Keys in Merge Module Databases" in the MSI SDK, which says in part:
The name of a primary key in a merge module must consist of a
readable name appended with a string made from the merge module's GUID.
