Sounds like the registration didn't finish correctly for VS2008. I'll try to put together a repro machine and see if it is a one off or if WiX's setup is missing something.
For the second issue, are you trying to add a Reference to your Custom BA from a .wixproj? If so, it is possible that the reference is added as an Extension reference and is trying to load your Custom BA as a toolset extension, which it is not, of course. Take a look at your failing project and see if the references look fishy.
