Ah the same version upgrade problem - I have questioned this quite a bit on this list and raised a defect http://sourceforge.net/p/wix/bugs/3065/. There isn't a workaround in WiX other than changing the bundle version (yet) but if you have your own BA I have put some code in the defect that should allow this to work.
