I finally figured out what was going on. The documentation mentions you can just copy the WiX file and change the filename and the Id of the <UI> element. This works just fine for WixUI_FeatureTree, WixUI_InstallDir, WixUI_Minimal and WixUI_Mondo. However, WixUI_Advanced also declares several custom actions (with Ids WIxSetDefaultPerUserFolder and three others) and refers to them twice. All the errors (maybe 12 or 13 of them) had to do with duplicate declarations of these symbol Ids, because when -ext WixUIExtension is included, WixUI_Advanced comes into the build, even though it is never actually referenced by any of my .wxs files. I made the mistake of not checking the individual error messages past the first 4 or 5 to notice that all the errors were about the same set of a few symbols.
My simple solution was to change the name of these custom actions in my copy (to KzSetDefaultPerUserFolder, etc.) and to any references to them, without changing their contents. It would help if the documentation mentioned that WixUI_Advanced also needs to have these custom actions renamed.
