Don't set REPAIR when applying the patch? The default action when a patch is applied is to apply as few features as possible based on the changed components. The only way a previously not-installed feature is automatically added is when it and all of its components are added by the patch.
A verbose log should tell you why you are getting features set to install when you apply the patch.

I found that there is a way via MigrateFeatures on UpgradeVersion, but this seems to be the other patch process (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_patching.htm). Is there a way to achieve my goal with the first approach?
