Thanks Phil, that did it. I was trying to set CustomActionData explicitly.

CustomActionData is actually per custom action, although it sometimes appears
that there is only one for all custom actions. Basically, if you have a custom
action called Fred that you want to pass data into, you create an immediate
set-a-property custom action (type 51 in MSI) that sets Fred to the data (yes,
you create a property that has the same name as your custom action). Inside the
deferred custom action Fred your CustomActionData property will be that data.
Some tools (like Visual Studio setups) hide these internal details, can't
remember if WiX does.

Subject: [WiX-users] CustomActionData
I have a couple of deferred custom actions to which I need to pass parameters.
Obviously for a single custom action I'd just set the CustomActionData
property. Do I have to pack all parameters for each custom action into
CustomActionData and have each action extract its own parameters somehow or is
there another way to do it?
Thanks
